Sakthi Germany had applied for insolvency in November 2008. After cost-cutting measures, including the introduction of shorter working hours and retrenchment of around 200 workers (out of a total of around 900), it failed to reverse the decline and stabilise business
Indian auto components manufacturer Sakthi Automotive Components Ltd has sold its insolvent German business to US-based MAT Holdings for an undisclosed amount, reports PTI.

Sakthi Germany applied for insolvency in November 2008 end after cost-cutting measures, including the introduction of short working hours and retrenchment of around 200 workers of around 900, but it failed to reverse the decline and stabilise business.
The proceedings started on 1 February 2009. On Wednesday, the deal for the takeover of Sakthi Germany's two foundries in Neuenkirchen and in Ueckermuende was approved by the company's creditors, workers' council and the engineering workers' trade union IG Metall, Mr Groener said.
According to media reports, the company was offered bridging financial assistance by the state governments of Saarland and the eastern German state of Mecklenberg Pomerania to overcome its payment difficulties.
The US-based company has given a long-term operational guarantee for the two plants and also promised to keep the present labour force of 437 workers in Neuenkirchen and 257 in Ueckermuende, he said.
Sakthi Automotive group, which belongs to Coimbatore-based Sakthi Sugars Ltd, is an Indian manufacturer of automotive components and specialises in manufacturing high-quality castings for a wide range of applications.
It had acquired the two foundries from the American company Intermet in May 2007 reportedly for $130 million and manufactured a range of auto components including axles, gear units and brakes for cars and trucks. Its customers included Daimler, BMW, Volkswagen, Suzuki and Citroen.
The company employs around 3,500 people at three production locations in India and at three plants in Europe. Besides the two German foundries, Sakhti Automotive has a plant in Arvika, in Sweden.
