Italian government scrutinizes the deal as Stellantis aims to focus on core European operations while Comau seeks autonomy and growth.

One Equity Partners will acquire a 50.1% stake in Comau, with Stellantis retaining 49.9%.
The Italian government is evaluating the use of golden power legislation to protect strategic assets.
Comau's executive team will remain in place, continuing to lead the company's expansion beyond the automotive sector.
Trade unions have expressed opposition to the sale, urging government intervention.
The deal is expected to close by the end of 2024, pending regulatory approvals.
