Mutares portfolio company Amaneos completes acquisition of European Automotive Lighting Business from Magna as strategic add-on for LMS

Strategic acquisition of Magna’s European automotive lighting business with revenues of approx. EUR 200 million in 2025
Transformational add-on for Light Mobility Solutions GmbH (LMS) creating a fully integrated exterior systems supplier
Substantial operational and commercial synergies

Munich, June 30, 2026 – Amaneos, part of Mutares SE & Co. KGaA (ISIN: DE000A2NB650), has successfully completed the acquisition of the European automotive lighting business of Magna (NYSE:MGA; TSX:MG), one of the world’s leading automotive suppliers. The acquisition represents a transformational add-on for Amaneos and its subsidiary LMS, significantly enhancing the Group’s system integration capabilities by combining exterior modules with advanced lighting technologies under one industrial platform.

In 2025, the business generated approximately EUR 200 million in revenues and employed around 1,500 people. Its portfolio covers rear lighting, front lighting, accent lighting as well as illuminated grille and panel solutions, supported by advanced competencies in LED, OLED, micro/mini LED and matrix ADB systems.

LMS, part of Amaneos Group, has acquired Magna’s European lighting operations, comprising of two manufacturing plants in Moncalieri (Italy) and Kostrzyn nad Odrą (Poland), as well as two engineering centers in Rivoli (Italy) and Ostrava (Czech Republic).

By integrating rear and front lighting solutions directly into LMS's exterior panels, Amaneos moves further up the value chain — from component production to complex, technology-driven module solutions — offering OEMs enhanced functionality, design flexibility and reduced interface complexity.
