In 2009, Autoliv acquired assets relating to Delphi’s OPS operations in Europe and North America which are expected to add approximately USD150m to Autoliv’s sales during 2010.
“This is an important acquisition for Autoliv – giving us immediate sales growth and bringing us closer to key customers in an important region,” said Jan Carlson, President and CEO of Autoliv.
The Asian transaction closed as expected on March 31, 2010 and will be reflected in Autoliv’s revised full year and quarterly guidance on April 27, 2010.
