GKN Driveline is the world's largest producer of constant-velocity joints, which it pioneered for use in automobiles. Its other products include sideshafts, propshafts, power transfer units, differentials, AWD couplings, disconnects, electric rear axles, and electric drive transmissions.

The origin of GKN - Guest, Keen & Nettlefolds - goes back to 1759, and the founding of the Dowlais Ironworks by the industrialists Thomas Lewis and Isaac Wilkinson.

The company took part in the railway boom in the early 1800s with its production of iron, then steel in the 1860s, and, after the First World War, the automotive industry.

GKN evolved geographically from its British base in the early nineteenth century to the USA and Western Europe.
