In addition, this purchase fits nicely with our recent tactical M&A approach,” said chairman and CEO David Dauch. “We are expanding our metal forming technology to serve a broad range of global customers.”
Subject to customary closing requirements, the transaction is expected to close in the second quarter of 2022.
