Japan-based motor maker Nidec announced it will buy Italian machine tool maker Pama for approximately $108 million (roughly ¥15 billion), according to a company news release and a report from Japanese news magazine Nikkei Asia.
On Nov. 30, Nidec said it passed a resolution to approve purchasing the shares of Pama and its nine affiliates. Last year, Pama reported approximately $124 million in sales (€118 million).
Founded in 1926, Pama today employs about 430 workers. The company’s General Manager, Alessandro Batisti, will continue in his role after the stock acquisition is finalized, Nidec said.
