The São Paulo-based company, which has 870 employees, generated revenue of BRL 280 million (around EUR 91 million) in 2013 and has enjoyed robust average growth of 16% over the past three years, with solid and consistent performances (EBITDA of 37% in 2013). The innovative and dynamic company has developed a strong presence in the independent trucker and small truck fleet segment in Brazil, which underpins the country’s land transportation market.
“Michelin will benefit from the client base and technical and marketing skills built up by Sascar in the rapidly expanding telematics market for professional truck fleets and thereby accelerate the development of services for its customers worldwide”, explains Jean-Dominique Senard, Chief Executive Officer of the Michelin Group. “This will help us strengthen an important area of growth for the Group.”
This acquisition will enable Michelin to expand its service offering for truckers and to speed the growth of its truck tire business in Brazil. By joining the Michelin Group, Sascar will gain access to its major customers in South America.
