Amtek Auto Ltd., a New Delhi-based maker of forged and cast components, has agreed to buy Neumayer Tekfor Group for an undisclosed price.
The companies have been 50:50 partners in a machining joint venture in Haryana, India, since 2005.
The deal, expected to close in May, includes Neumayer Tekfor's nine plants in Europe, Latin America and the U.S., its stake in the Haryana venture and Italian forging unit Officine Meccaniche Villar Perosa.
Amtek says the acquisition will make it a major global manufacturer of engine, chassis and transmission components with more than $2 billion in revenue and more than 50 factories worldwide.
Neumayer Tekfor, a German maker of forged and machined parts, has been seeking a buyer since it entered court-supervised insolvency proceedings last September.

Mustang Changes for 2018
On Tuesday Ford unveiled—using the social media channels of actor Dwayne Johnson (this has got to unnerve some of the auto buff book editors)—the 2018 Mustang, which has undergone some modifications: under the hood (the 3.7-liter V6 is giving way to a 2.3-liter EcoBoost four, and a 10-speed automatic is available), on the dash (a 12-inch, all-digital LCD screen is available for the dashboard), at the tires (12 wheel choices), on the chassis (MagneRide damper technology is being offered with the Mustang Performance Package), and on the exterior (three new paint colors). And while on the subject of the exterior, there are some notable changes—a lower, remodeled hood, repositioned hood vents, new upper and lower front grilles, LED front lights, revised LED taillamps, new rear bumper and fascia.
