On the rationale behind the acquisition, the company said Motherson will “become Tier 1 to Aerospace OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer)” and proximity to OEM would open further avenues for growth.
Also, it will help in diversification to electrical wiring and interconnect systems (EWIS) for aerospace, shipbuilding and other allied industries from an existing portfolio of aero structure components, machining, etc.
The acquisition is also aligned with the growth strategy and synergistic with the existing wiring harness capabilities of Motherson, and this transaction will also help the company gain access to the shipbuilding and allied industries, the filing said.
Cirma Entreprise clocked a turnover of 11.41 million euros in the calendar year 2022. The transaction will be presented to the employees’ representatives’ body of Cirma Entreprise, and once agreed by Vinci Energies France, will be subject to customary closing conditions, the company said.
