Kiyosu, Japan, August 25, 2017: Toyoda Gosei Co., Ltd. will acquire a 100% stake in Pecval Industria Co., Ltd. (Pecval), a manufacturer of automotive interior and exterior parts in Brazil, by December 2017.

Currently, Pecval is jointly owned by Toyoda Gosei and Shimizu Industry Co., Ltd. (headquartered in Kariya, Aichi, Japan)*. The two companies have agreed that Toyoda Gosei will acquire full equity interest from Shimizu.

Toyoda Gosei has two business locations in Brazil, Pecval and GDBR Industria e Comercio de Componentes Quimicos e de Borracha Ltda., which supply interior and exterior parts, safety systems, and weatherstrips to automakers.
