tional, Northville, Mich., U.S.A., has entered into an agree- ment to be bought by Iochpe-Maxion S.A., Sao Paulo, Brazil. According to the terms of the agreement, the global wheels business of Hayes Lemmerz will be purchased in an all-cash transaction for approximately $725 million and combined with the wheels businesses of Iochpe-Maxion. “One of our principal strategies is to sustainably grow our
core business internationally,” said Dan Ioschpe, the com- pany’s chief executive officer. “Tis transaction will position us well to partner with customers to offer technologically- advanced products and outstanding services to meet their needs in every major geographic region for years to come.” Te acquisition, which is expected to close during the first half of 2012, is subject to closing conditions, approval of the stockholders of Hayes Lemmerz and Iochpe-Maxion, and regulatory approvals. Te companies will continue to operate independently until the transaction is completed. “Automotive and commercial vehicle manufacturers are expanding globally and seeking global suppliers with the resources to invest and grow with them,” Ioschpe said. “Ve- hicle manufacturers have many choices when it comes to the wheels they offer their customers, including both aluminum and steel wheels.” Te two companies said they are developing integra-
tion plans that build on their cultural similarities and best business and product development practices. According to the press release, management of the new company will be drawn from current management, and specific manage- ment appointments will be announced prior to closing. Te combined entity will have manufacturing locations in 13 countries and a presence in every major automotive region. “We look forward to a promising future with a long-term
strategic shareholder like Iochpe-Maxion,” said Fred Bentley, chief operating officer of Hayes Lemmerz. “Tis transaction is in the best interests of our customers. [It] is also in the best interests of our suppliers.” ■
