Amtek Auto to acquire three component makers in Europe and SE Asia

Amtek Auto Ltd has reportedly acquired three companies (two in Europe and one in South East Asia) expanding its component manufacturing capabilities to meet the growing demand in auto and non-auto applications. “The company has agreed to acquire two Europe based and one South East Asia based auto and non-auto component companies through its Singapore based wholly owned subsidiary,” said an Amtek Auto’s BSE filing
 
The acquiring companies have six state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities across Europe and South East Asia, which have a combined sale in excess of Rs 2000 crores to blue chip OEMs and tier one customer worldwide.
 
The proposed acquisitions are expected to further strengthen Amtek’s position as one of the largest integrated global players in forging, casting and machining businesses.
 
This is the second major international deal announced the Delhi-based automotive components manufacturer this year. In August 2014, Amtek India Ltd has entered into a 50:50 joint venture with Tokyo-based Riken Corporation to build a new iron casting foundry in Bhiwadi, Rajasthan with initial capacity of 1.5 million per year of engine camshafts.
