BorgWarner to acquire Eldor Corporation’s e-hybrid systems business

BorgWarner Inc. and Eldor Corporation S.p.A. have announced that they have entered into a share purchase agreement under which BorgWarner has agreed to acquire the Electric Hybrid Systems (EHS) business segment of Eldor for Euros 75 million at closing with a potential additional amount due subject to an earnout.

Headquartered in Italy, Eldor’s EHS segment includes on-board chargers (OBCs), DC/DC converters, and integrated high voltage boxes, all of which are expected to complement BorgWarner’s existing product portfolio. The acquisition is expected to enhance BorgWarner’s capabilities in engineering compact and efficient 400V and 800V on-board chargers that are compatible with the variety of regional grid configurations found globally while also bringing innovative and cost-effective high-frequency DC/DC converter technology to the portfolio.

BorgWarner expects that Eldor’s EHS business will generate Euros 25 million of revenue for the full year 2023. Relative to its Charging Forward 2027 targets, BorgWarner expects that revenues will be approximately Euros 250 million in 2027.

The transaction is subject to satisfaction of closing conditions and is expected to close in the third quarter of 2023.
