Consideration, subject to customary purchase price adjustments will be paid at closing expected in the second half of 2020. The proposed transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including the receipt of antitrust approvals.
“Tupy has always been a strategic supplier in the cast iron structural components industry,” said FCA global chief manufacturing officer, Scott Garberding.
“Together, Teksid and Tupy will continue to develop new technologies to support the success of our products. The proposed transaction represents another step in the implementation of FCA’s business plan.”
