BW owns 75% of Beru, and has entered into a domination and profit transfer agreement with the company, in which it will offer to buy shares for EUR71.32.


The agreement will be validated at Beru’s annual shareholder meeting in May.


BW acquired a majority shareholding in Beru in 2005. Since then Beru’s growth in the fast-growing diesel component market has stalled. Last October a new CEO, Thomas Waldhier, was appointed, to stop this trend, and increase Beru’s international presence through acquisitions.


Beru will present its results for 2007 on 27 March.
