The Detroit Free Press said a hearing on the supplier’s confirmation plan scheduled for Tuesday (5 June) has been moved to 12 July.
Nevertheless, C&A was expected in Detroit bankruptcy court today to ask a judge to approve the sale of its automotive flooring and acoustics business and parts of its soft-top convertible business, the paper said.
The report noted that C&A has agreed to sell the automotive flooring and noise-deadening automotive interior components division to investor Wilbur Ross’ International Automotive Components Group North America for $US126m.
The company will also ask a judge to approve the sale of parts of its soft-top convertible business to Magna Car Top Systems, a subsidiary of Magna International, the Detroit Free Press said.
The report added that Collins & Aikman, which has decided to liquidate rather than restructure as a new company, is still negotiating the sale of its plastics business with Cadence Innovation.
