Cadence has issued a press release in response to a Collins & Aikman statement that said negotiations had broken off.
Automotive News reported that C&A later said it would rejoin negotiations with Cadence.
“We are please to learn that Cadence is still interested in pursuing a sale transaction and look forward to resuming negotiations as quickly as possible,” a C&A spokesman told Automotive News.
Cadence agreed to buy the plants for US$68m earlier this year. However, subsequent negotiations are reported to have stalled over C&A’s Hermosillo, Mexico, parts plant which is being purchased by investor Wibur Ross. Cadence is said to want that plant included as part of a deal.
