The English brand may meet new owners by the end of this month.
As we reported last week Aston Martin is for sale. According to the financial publication Financial Times, Investment Dar, the British brand's majority shareholder, has already received two proposals for the purchase of more than 50% of the brand's shares, so the deal is on the verge of being closed.
As we had previously reported, one of the groups interested in the purchase is Mahindra & Mahindra, which is now joined by Invest Industrial. Although the value offered by this company is lower than the value offered by Mahindra, Invest Industrial has an asset up its sleeve, which is the possibility of a technical partnership with Mercedes. It's no secret that Aston Martin CEO Dr. Ulrich Bez advocates such a partnership rather than a simple sale. This asset could turn out to be an advantage for the European investment group.
By the end of the month we will certainly get to know the future of Aston Martin. What is your bet?
