Magna puts Getrag in the bag

Magna said in a statement that it will invest approximately 1.75 billion euros (1.9 billion US dollars) to acquire 100% of GETRAG. According to the assessment, the market value of GETRAG, which includes debt and pension liabilities of 700 million euros, is approximately 2.45 billion euros. The final transaction price will depend on working capital, other purchase price adjustment practices, and so on.

In terms of progress, Magna and Getrak expect to complete the transaction by the end of 2015. A series of conditions will determine the actual time node, including obtaining all necessary legal approvals.

More details of future transactions will be announced by the two companies.

According to informed sources, GETRAG's brand and factory layout will be retained without any layoffs, but it is expected that both parties will achieve joint effects through joint procurement and reduce operating costs.

And Getrak CEO Mihir Kotecha said that the two sides have actually negotiated for 8 to 9 years. After Getragh assessed how to promote the fundraising plan in 2012, the negotiation density has further increased.

Magna is the largest auto parts supplier in North America, with the world's second-largest revenue and profit in 2014. It ranks second only to Bosch and over China and Denso. Its rival ZF acquired Tianhe last year and will compete with Magna for the second place if it completes the merger.

Strengthen the transmission business

Magna has accumulated strong power in the field of transmission systems, and GETRAK is one of the largest independent transmission manufacturers, and can further strengthen Magna's transmission business.

Industry sources pointed out that Magna has become a mainstream supplier of transmission technologies such as transmissions, and GETRAG can make Magna's transmission lineup more comprehensive. Magna also said that GETRAK is one of the leading roles of DCT dual clutch transmissions.

In 2014, Magna Powertrain achieved sales of US$5 billion, which accounted for approximately 14% of the company’s annual operating revenue. If it can complete the absorption of GETRAK, it will further increase sharply. In 2013, GETRAK's revenue was US$3.6 billion. There are 23 factories in the world with 13,500 employees.

In November of last year, Mihir Kotecha had predicted that by 2019, the company’s revenue will reach 5 billion euros, and China may become its largest market.

Oil Drilling Grade CMC

CMC or PAC is mainly used for thickening and water-retention during the extraction of oil and gas process.

PAC&CMC can be used in drilling fluid,fixing fluid and fracturing fluid.In drilling fluid,it works as viscosifier,filtration reducer,and rheology controller;in fixingfluid,it is used to control fluid viscosity,suspend heavy objects,andavoid fluid loss;in fracturing fluid,it is uesd to carry stuffing and avoid fluid loss.

CMC (Carboxymethyl cellulose) Oil Drilling Grade is a type of water-soluble polymer that is used in drilling fluids to control the viscosity and fluid loss of the drilling mud. It is a highly effective drilling mud additive that improves the stability and performance of the drilling mud.
CMC Oil Drilling Grade is a high-quality, low-viscosity, and low-toxicity product that is specifically designed for use in oil and gas drilling applications. It is a cost-effective alternative to other drilling mud additives and can be used in a wide range of drilling conditions.
Some of the benefits of using CMC Oil Drilling Grade include:
- Improved drilling mud viscosity and stability
- Reduced fluid loss and formation damage
- Increased drilling efficiency and productivity
- Enhanced wellbore stability and integrity
- Improved cuttings transport and hole cleaning
- Reduced environmental impact and toxicity
