Three years later he managed to start up a tool-and-die shop in a rented garage in downtown Toronto, and in 1960 he signed a contract with General Motors to produce sun-visor brackets for Chevrolets and Pontiacs. Over the following decade, Stronach pulled together a team of mostly German and Austrian tool-and-die workers to make more parts for more cars, and in 1970 he and some partners took over an aerospace-parts company called Magna Electronics Corp...
