The acquired business, headquartered in Barsinghausen, Germany, employs nearly 4,000 people globally.

“We are extremely excited about this strategic acquisition, as it adds a completely new product line that is very complementary to Federal-Mogul Powertrain’s portfolio. This engine valve business enables us to provide more value to our customers who look to us to help them improve fuel economy, reduce emissions and enhance vehicle performance on a global basis,” said Rainer Jueckstock, CEO, Federal-Mogul Powertrain and Co-CEO, Federal-Mogul Holdings Corp.
