The acquisition of Forvia's Interiors Business Group by Apollo Global Management's funds is expected to positively impact both companies.

The Interiors Business Group is a leading global supplier of automotive interior systems, including instrument panels, door panels, and center consoles, serving major automotive OEMs worldwide. This acquisition will establish the Interiors Business Group as an independent company, leveraging Apollo Global Management's extensive experience in the automotive sector and complex carve-outs. The transaction is subject to regulatory approvals and is anticipated to close in the second half of 2026. Key figures like Michael Reiss and Claudia Scarico from Apollo Global Management, and Martin Fischer from Forvia, have expressed optimism about the deal's potential for growth and value creation.
