Marelli, based in Japan and owned by private equity firm KKR, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in the U.S. on June 11.

Marelli Holdings Co., a prominent auto parts supplier for giants like Stellantis NV and Nissan Motor Co., has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in the U.S.

Marelli was among the first major companies in any industry to pin a bankruptcy filing in part on tariffs. Other auto suppliers will likely follow, industry analysts said.

Marelli, the auto-parts supplier, for its part, said in a court filing that it was “severely affected” by headwinds driven by auto tariffs rolled out by the Trump administration in March.

Earlier this month, meanwhile, car manufacturer supply company Marelli similarly filed for bankruptcy, saying costs from Trump’s tariffs had put its finances under water.

When At Home Group Inc.’s lawyer stood before a bankruptcy judge last month asking to wipe out nearly $2 billion of the retailer’s debt, the reason came quick: tariffs.
