SAF-HOLLAND SE ("SAF-HOLLAND"), one of the world's leading suppliers of trailer and truck components, announced today that it has acquired Assali Stefen Srl, an Italian manufacturer of axle and suspension systems based in Verona. Assali Stefen is a company known worldwide for the development, production and sale of chassis-related components for trailers and semitrailers as well as other special applications. The company currently employs around 70 people and operates a development and production site in Verona, Italy. With the acquisition of Assali Stefen, SAF-HOLLAND is expanding its product portfolio for standard and special applications, ranging from standard rigid axles to self-steering axles for trailers. At the same time, the acquisition strengthens SAF-HOLLAND's industry position, especially in the EMEA region and New Zealand. The acquisition fits seamlessly into the companies acquired by SAF-HOLLAND with a focus on special axles, KLL (2016) and recently Tecma Srl. In the course of the integration, synergy effects are to be realized through cross-selling and the bundling of resources. "We are pleased to further strengthen our position in the global commercial vehicle supply market with the acquisition of Assali Stefen," says Alexander Geis, Chairman of the Management Board and CEO of SAF-HOLLAND SE, and adds: "By expanding our product range, especially in the specialty axle segment, we can offer our customers even more innovative one-stop-shop solutions." The purchase price is in the lower double-digit million-euro range. The transaction is expected to be completed and the company included in the consolidated financial statements of SAF-HOLLAND SE for the first time in the third quarter of 2024.
