Teknia, the Spanish multinational specialised in the manufacture of metal and plastic components for mobility, has acquired the Swedish company Svensk Tryckgjutning (“STG”) dedicated to the injection and machining of aluminium and magnesium products for safety and high precision parts for the steering and chassis environment. The acquisition is a strategic move by the company to further strengthen its capabilities in manufacturing components for new mobility solutions. Aluminium and magnesium injection and machining technologies, due to their better characteristics compared to other materials, are increasingly relevant for the manufacture of components for electric vehicles.
Javier Quesada de Luis, Teknia Managing Director, said: “The acquisition of STG in Sweden is part of our strategy to increase our production capacity in a booming technology such as aluminium injection moulding, while incorporating a new, highly specialised technology, magnesium injection moulding. We continue to look for opportunities in Europe and America to continue growing and positioning ourselves as a benchmark company thanks to our multi-material offer.”
