Columbus retains ArvinMeritor emissions office

ArvinMeritor Inc. has sold its Emissions Technology group for $310 million to the New York investment firm One Equity Partners, but the auto exhaust group will have dual headquarters in Columbus and the Detroit area.

The dual offices trace to Meritor Automotive Inc.’s 2000 acquisition Columbus-based Arvin Industries Inc. ArvinMeritor, of Troy, Mich., wants to focus on auto suspensions, brakes, drive trains, doors and roofs.
