With the continuous deepening of the global automotive industry's intelligence, networking, and electrification revolution, the current automobile is accelerating the upgrading from the traditional fuel vehicles to the next-generation smart and new energy vehicles. The changes in the technical structure of the vehicle will undoubtedly be transmitted to auto parts companies. After all, they are also the main participants in this change. They need to think about how to quickly enter the next stage of the auto market in the process of change, and become players among them. Get the final victory. One obvious phenomenon is that, around the R&D of new energy vehicles and autonomous driving technologies, the separation and M&A and reorganization activities in the auto parts market have significantly increased in the past two years, especially in mergers and acquisitions, and are frequently performed among parts and components companies. And the value of a single transaction is getting bigger and bigger. For example, Samsung’s acquisition of Harman, a US auto parts manufacturer, at the beginning of 2017 highlighted the “big trick†of the giants in responding to change. In addition, what impressive mergers and acquisitions have occurred in the auto parts sector in recent years? Let's take a look... 5.4 billion U.S. Dollar Purchase of Federal-Mogul Tenneco to "Health" Two Children Next Year On April 10, 2018, Tenneco, an automotive parts supplier, announced the acquisition of Federal-Mogul for US$5.4 billion in order to gain a larger share in the growing Asian market.

Murdered by Melrose for GKN's " Building a Gear Giant " Melrose's acquisition of GKN began in January this year. After a series of serious losses caused the stock price crash at GKN’s American Airlines plant, Melrose took the opportunity to issue a bid for £7 billion and described GKN as an “unregulated and poorly managed organization†with insufficient shareholder returns. GKN’s board quickly responded by saying that Melrose’s offer was “completely opportunistic†and “fundamentally underestimated the company and its development prospects.†Not only that, in order to stop Melrose’s hostile takeover, GKN also plans to spin off its aviation and automotive businesses. In early March, GKN announced that it will merge with Dana’s auto business and both parties will jointly establish Dana Corporation. It is understood that this transaction was initiated by Dana, with a total amount of up to US$6.1 billion (approximately RMB 38.6 billion) and is expected to be completed in the second half of 2018. Although GKN had just established an alliance with Dana to fight against the acquisition of Melorose, it was reported that "Melrose had obtained a narrow acquisition of GKN." Originally, after the purchase was subjected to strong opposition from the GKN Board of Directors, Melrose turned his gaze directly to the GKN shareholders and raised the offer to 7.4 billion pounds in order to put pressure on the new CEO of GKN, Anne Stevens. In the end, with the help of capital, many shareholders became tempted and decided to accept Melrose's acquisition of GKN. This three-month long tug of war started. However, in view of GKN’s provision of military aircraft components including the Lockheed F-35B fighter aircraft for the United Kingdom, the reorganization of the acquisition may be subject to intervention at the national level, which means that the fate of GKN will ultimately be in his hands.
