Following approval from EU antitrust authorities in February, Atlas Holdings has completed its acquisition of Rehau Automotive and merged it with portfolio company SRG Global to create a new player in the automotive exterior components sector: RESGR Automotive.
The Rehau Group, former owner of Rehau Automotive, retains a minority stake in the new industrial entity.

RESGR Automotive now operates 22 manufacturing sites and employs 10,000 people, combining SRG Global’s expertise in injection-molded and decorated parts with Rehau Automotive’s specialization in plastic bumpers and body panels.

Jeff Stafeil has been appointed CEO of RESGR Automotive, while Markus Distelhoff, formerly CEO of Rehau Automotive, will oversee operations in Europe and Africa.

“The combination of Rehau Automotive and SRG Global creates a leading global supplier with a highly complementary footprint, unique capabilities, and trusted customer relationships that position RESGR for long-term success,” said Stafeil. “Rehau and SRG bring a combined 160 years of experience to their work, serving the world’s leading automakers with unparalleled capabilities.”

Headquartered in Greenwich, Connecticut, Atlas and its affiliates own and operate 27 companies employing more than 57,000 people across over 350 facilities worldwide. The group is active in sectors including automotive supply, building materials, capital equipment, construction services, food manufacturing and distribution, metals processing, packaging, paper, power generation, printing, pulp, supply chain management, and wood products. Collectively, Atlas companies generate approximately $18 billion in annual revenue.
