In its press releases of 29 March and 19 May, ACTIA announced that it had entered into exclusive negotiations to sell the Power Division, specialised in the electrification of vehicles, to Plastic Omnium.

ACTIA Group is pleased to announce that the subsequent discussions have made it possible to reach an agreement with Plastic Omnium, which was signed on 26 June 2022. The coming weeks will be devoted to finalising the legalities and documentation and to addressing some minor conditions precedent with a view to completing the deal in mid-summer.

This disposal will enable ACTIA to make its Power Division a part of its long-term industrial plans and focus its efforts on embedded electronics at the service of mobility and power management. The resources resulting from the disposal will be used to reduce ACTIA's level of indebtedness by about €50m. You will recall that ACTIA had concluded a first transaction concerning the sale of the Technical Inspection & Garage Equipment business to the BASE Group on 21 April 2022, for an amount of €12m. These two transactions will reinforce ACTIA's financial structure and help it to achieve revenue in excess of €800m in four years' time, independently of these transactions.

"The fact that ACTIA's Power Division is joining the Plastic Omnium Group will enable the teams to pursue their development within the Clean Energy Systems division. There is still work to do to successfully finalise this integration, but the two family-owned groups are firmly committed to making this industrial project a reality" enthused Jean-Louis Pech, CEO of ACTIA Group.
