ST Engineering to close acquisition of MRAS in Q2

It already secured the anti-trust approvals for the deal.

ST Engineering obtained the anti-trust approvals for the proposed acquisition of MRA Systems (MRAS) from GE, it said in an announcement.

“It is pending usual clearance from the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States.”

Subject to the remaining conditions to completion of the proposed acquisition, it is expected to close in the second quarter of 2019.

ST Engineering’s US subsidiary Vision Technologies Aerospace Incorporated (VT Aerospace) bought 100% of MRAS from GE for $868m in September 2018. This marks the company’s largest acquisition to date.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
