KGaA (ISIN: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.boerse-frankfurt.de\/equity\/mutares-se-co-kgaa?mic=XFRA\">DE000A2NB650<\/a>) has entered into final negotiations with Korean listed Hwaseung Corporation to acquire 67% of the shares in Hwaseung Special Rubber (Taicang) Co., Ltd. (\u201cHSR\u201d) and Hwaseung Auto Parts (Taicang) Co., Ltd. (\u201cHST\u201d). This potential acquisition of a majority stake in a leading automotive supplier in China marks a significant milestone in Mutares\u2019 global expansion and targeted growth strategy in Asia. Hwaseung Corporation today disclosed the potential takeover on the Korean stock exchange. Signing of the transaction is envisaged for the fourth quarter of 2025.<\/p>\n<p>The targeted companies are renowned for their indispensable rubber sealing and hose products, serving blue-chip automotive OEMs such as GM, VW, Hyundai, Kia, and Xiaomi. With two state-of-the-art manufacturing sites and a workforce of approximately 600 employees, the companies generated revenues of over EUR 100 million in 2024. HSR and HST make a perfect fit for Amaneos China, unlocking significant value-chain synergies, particularly through the integration with SMA China and SFC China, enabling cost optimization, operational improvements, and a strengthened competitive position in the world\u2019s most dynamic automotive market.<\/p>\n<p>Mutares\u2019 entry into China\u2019s automotive sector reinforces its position as an operational frontrunner in the Automotive &amp; Mobility segment, extending the Group\u2019s track record and opening new opportunities for collaboration with leading Asian and international OEMs. The decision by a prominent Korean stock exchange listed seller to transact with Mutares reflects the Group\u2019s global standing as reliable and value-creating owner with a proven track record in operational excellence, transformation, and sustainable growth.<\/p>\n<p>Johannes Laumann, CIO of Mutares, comments: \u201cOur expansion into Asia marks a major milestone for Mutares in the Automotive &amp; Mobility segment. We are honored by the trust of our Korean partners and excited to bring our operational expertise to the Chinese market. This acquisition is a testament to our commitment to international growth and diversification, and it will generate value for all stakeholders.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Planned majority takeover of HSR and HST as add-on acquisition for Amaneos China strengthening the Automotive &amp; Mobility segment of Mutares Strategic expansion of the Group\u2019s Asian footprint Revenues of over EUR 100 million Signing of transaction envisaged in Q4 2025 Munich, October 28, 2025 \u2013 Mutares SE &amp; Co.
