23 Apr 2012
Kanoria Chemicals & Industries Limited (KCI) has entered into a share and loan purchase agreement to acquire APAG Holding AG, the Switzerland-based holding company of its wholly-owned subsidiary APAG Elektronik AG, Switzerland.
According to the agreement KCI will acquire a 90-per cent stake in APAG Holding AG for Swiss Franc 6.39 million.

APAG Elektronik AG develops electronic and mechatronic modules and control devices for the automotive, consumer goods, power tool electronics and building automation industries.
Its design and engineering facility is located in Switzerland, with the manufacturing facility in the Czech Republic under the umbrella of a wholly-owned subsidiary APAG Elektronik s.r.o.
