Here’s why Maxion is deepening its footprint in Argentina despite Brazil’s lead
Iochpe-Maxion, a global manufacturer of automotive wheels and structural components, through its subsidiary Maxion Wheels, announced that it was taking strategic measures to strengthen its light vehicle aluminium wheel business in South America. It had redeployed existing global production assets to Brazil and has acquired a 50.1 per cent stake in Polimetal, a major aluminium wheel manufacturer in Argentina, which has been successfully completed. Now, the question arises: when the firm was focusing on Brazil, why did it acquire an Argentina-based company?
The acquisition of Polimetal by Iochpe-Maxion has been completed by Marval, who acted as the legal counsel for the Group, aiding in structuring and implementing the agreement of the acquisition at 50.1 per cent stake.
