MGG International today announces the acquisition of a majority stake in CSA Herzogenburg GmbH, an Austrian based cutting edge and high quality manufacturer of advanced aluminium low-pressure die casted products and sub‐assemblies. CSA supplies various castings for passenger cars, commercial vehicles and various other applications. The current owners, Mr. Andreas Zick and Mr. Markus Kieberger will remain as minority shareholders of the company and will continue their roles of Managing Directors.
The newly combined company currently generates annual revenues of approximately 160 million euros. The acquisition fits perfectly in the growth strategy that MGG and its major shareholder Parcom Capital have defined, and is the first since their alliance started early this year.
MGG International CEO Bart‐Jan van den Boogaart comments: ”We are extremely happy to add CSA to our Group and looking forward to the cooperation with Markus and Andreas. We are impressed how the two of them have developed CSA to be a technology leader in such a short period of time. The high level of quality that CSA delivers to its customers, is truly an addition in the offerings to our customers. Next to sophisticated aluminium sand-castings we are now able to serve our customers more to their needs.”
