Mutares plans to grow its automotive business

Mutares has made an irrevocable offer to acquire two French plants of the Mecaplast Group. The two plants generate revenues of EUR 70m by producing interior and exterior parts for trucks. The acquisition would be a perfect add-on for STS, a portfolio company of Mutares .

Mutares positions itself for future development

The Mutares Group closed the first half of 2016 with stable revenues and a reduced profitability due to one-off effects. A strong focus was put on establishing the required organization structure as a basis for further growth of the group. The new segmentation of the portfolio sharpens Mutares’ profile and the investment focus.
