Germany's Mutares Sells Precision Turned Parts Specialist Walor, Completion Expected in Summer

en.Wedoany.com Reported - Mutares has received an irrevocable acquisition offer from buyer Reed Capital to acquire its high-precision turned parts specialist Walor Precision Turning. The transaction is expected to close this summer, subject to approval from the works council and satisfaction of other customary closing conditions.

Walor Precision Turning currently operates three production sites located in Lésigny, France; Sfântu Gheorghe, Romania; and Irapuato, Mexico. The company is a leading supplier of high-precision metal components for automotive passive safety systems, primarily supplying seatbelt pretensioners and airbag inflators. Additionally, the turned parts specialist has expanded its business into high-growth markets such as semi-active suspension and data center components. Its revenue is expected to be approximately €55 million in 2025, with around 420 employees across the three sites.

According to informed sources, during its holding period, Mutares supported the improvement of Walor Group's operational performance, ensured its commercial success, and strengthened the company's international presence in Europe and North America. This sale reflects Mutares' disciplined approach to value creation through operational restructuring and targeted divestitures. The divestiture of Walor Precision Turning marks another step in Mutares' strategy to actively manage its automotive portfolio and gradually reduce its overall portfolio weight. Reed Capital stated that Walor possesses the elements they are currently seeking: industrial expertise, a solid customer base, an experienced management team, and numerous opportunities for future business diversification.
