Lighting manufacturer Osram has agreed to acquire aftermarket brand Ring Automotive. Terms of the deal have not been disclosed and it is still subject to the usual approvals.

In a statement, both businesses feel that this combination will be ‘mutually beneficial’ and will result in many opportunities to complement each other’s offering to the automotive aftermarket.

George Skalski, Managing Director of Ring Automotive said, “We look forward to working alongside Osram and believe that the transaction is very positive news for all of our colleagues and customers. The acquisition secures continued investment in the business, which will support our future growth plans and our leading-edge product innovation.”
