The deal is expected to add to Magna's sensor and full systems capabilities, including radar, camera and driver monitoring, and add 2,200 engineers for systems, software and sensor development.
Canadian supplier Magna International Inc. said on Tuesday it agreed to buy Veoneer Active Safety from investment firm SSW Partners for $1.53 billion in cash to bolster its portfolio of self-driving technology.
Veoneer Active Safety sales are projected to be about $1.1 billion in 2022 and increase to about $1.9 billion in 2024.The sale of the business is not a surprise. SSW acquired the unit in a $4.5 billion transaction in October 2021 that includeed Qualcomm's purchase of Veoneer's Arriver automated driving software unit. At the time, Magna also was bidding on the same Veoneer assets, but Qualcomm and SSW won the business after they topped Magna's offer by 18 per cent.
There was immediate speculation last year that Magna would eventually bid on the Veoneer active safety business lines that Qualcomm didn't want. Magna ranks No. 4 on the Automotive News list of the top 100 global suppliers with worldwide sales to automakers of $36.2 billion in 2021.
