Global Legal Chronicle

Dias Carneiro and Nishimura & Asahi advise Mitsubishi Heavy Industries on the deal.

The Japanese manufacturer of engines and drives Nidec executed the acquisition of the shares of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Machine Tool Co., Ltd., all the Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Group-owned shares of 3 overseas subsidiaries and the machine tool business run by 9 overseas subsidiaries – including Brazil.

The closing of the transaction is expected to take place in May, depending on the completion of certain conditions precedent – among which there is the antitrust clearance and regulatory approval in several countries.

Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Machine Tool makes production equipment for automotive gear, which requires precision and specialized skills, and Nidec hopes to use the unit’s know-how to produce more gears in-house.
