News Break: M&M, Bessemer, Jungle Ventures, and Foseco Grab Headlines
Mahindra & Mahindra (M&M), the Indian multinational automobile manufacturer, has announced plans to sell its Finnish combine harvester subsidiary, Sampo Rosenlew Oy [6]. This move is part of a strategic decision to concentrate on core businesses, aiming to enhance overall profitability by divesting non-core and underperforming assets [1][5].
The divestment of Sampo Rosenlew Oy marks a significant shift in M&M's agricultural equipment focus [4]. This decision is in line with M&M’s broader strategy to exit businesses that are not central to its main operations or are underperforming, thereby streamlining the company’s portfolio and focusing resources on areas with higher growth potential and competitive advantage [5].
Sampo Rosenlew Oy, a Finnish company specialising in the manufacture of combine harvesters, became a part of M&M's portfolio after the company gradually increased its stake from 35% in 2016 [3]. M&M acquired full ownership of Sampo Rosenlew Oy in 2022 [2]. The sale could potentially lead to a new owner taking over the Finnish combine harvester business.
