Asia on the Hunt for European Technology
Asian car and car parts manufacturers want to follow the example of Japan's NTN and buy companies in Europe that will give them a technological edge, an investment banker at Nomura International said on On Nov.21st, 2007.
Klaus Pflum, who heads the automotive team at the Nomura (8604.T: Quote, Profile, Research) division, said the manufacturers could not find enough engineers in their home countries to help them stay ahead of the competition with innovative products.
"Indian and Chinese companies are looking to buy engineering power in western Europe and countries like Ukraine and Mexico," he told the Reuters Autos Summit.
Given the strong demand for know-how, industrial centers in China and India faced the problem of engineers constantly switching loyalties to the company who paid the most.Among Japanese companies, there was a reluctance to buy big companies in Europe because of the difficulties involved in integrating them into their operations."It is not a money problem," he said.cosmetics packaging,motorcycle,china manufacturers,casting,translation ,bearings,ball bearings,automotive bearings ,Clutch Release Bearings ,Thrust Bearing,Wheel Bearings,industrial bearings ,Ball Bearings,Special Bearings,Tensioner bearings
These companies preferred to buy small, specialized outfits and let them run by themselves while making minor changes over a period of time, he said.
He cited the example of NTN (6472.T: Quote, Profile, Research), which last year agreed to buy a controlling stake in Renault (RENA.PA: Quote, Profile, Research) bearings unit SNR Roulements for about 20 billion yen ($171 million), making it the world's third-biggest maker of the product.NTN expected the investment to help it accelerate its product development, boost its competitiveness and expand in Europe
