Cummins Inc signed an agreement in October 2022 to purchase from Stellantis N.V. the entire share capital of Teksid Hierro de México, S.A. de C.V. (Teksid MX) and Teksid, Inc. for approximately 115 million euros.
The purchase is still subject to certain adjustments set forth in the agreement.
Teksid MX operates an iron foundry located in Monclova, Mexico, which primarily forges blocks and cylinder heads used in Cummins engines and those of other manufacturers.
Financial results of Cummins
At the same time, Teksid, Inc. facilitates the marketing of Teksid MX’s products in North America.
The transaction, which is subject to customary closing conditions and receipt of applicable regulatory approvals, is expected to close in early 2023.
As Cummins the foundry’s primary customer, the acquisition is not expected to result in a significant increase in sales of that company’s business.
