Formula One boss Bernie Ecclestone is part of a bid to buy struggling
Swedish carmaker Saab.
Mr Ecclestone has joined forces with Luxembourg-based private
investment company Genii Capital, which recently invested in
Renault’s F1 team.
Loss-making Saab has been put up for sale by its current owner, US
giant General Motors (GM).
A second offer for Saab has also emerged from the Dutch sports
carmaker Spyker.
Swedish newspaper Dagens Industri has also reported that GM has
received a third bid from a Swedish consortium.
This group is said to include Haakon Samuelsson, a former executive
with lorry firms MAN and Scania, and Jan Nygren, a former politician
and one-time executive with the Saab aerospace company.
Mr Ecclestone told the Bloomberg news agency: “[Saab] is a good brand
that has probably been neglected by the current owners.”
There are three bids on the table, yet the future looks as uncertain
as ever for Saab’s 3,400 workers.
F1 boss Bernie Ecclestone’s involvement suggests there is still value
in the brand, but that is not to say any of the prospective buyers
would retain the whole workforce.
There is little technology left in Trollhaettan that is owned
outright by Saab itself. Saab engine, gearbox and tooling technology
was recently sold to Beijing Automotive.
Hence, any buyer would need to strike a technology-sharing deal with
GM to keep the Swedish operation going.
And Saab under new ownership would almost certainly be a low-volume
carmaker.
“We don’t own it yet, so let’s see what happens,” he added.
Genii said that it would “aggressively work towards a successful
closing of the transaction with all the relevant stakeholders of the
company”.
It added that Saab has “tremendous brand value in a number of key
automotive markets, as well as an innovative image”.
Spyker’s bid for Saab is its second, having previously made an
unsuccessful approach on 20 December, two days after GM said it would
close down the Swedish company if no suitable sale could be agreed.
Victor Muller, the chief executive of Spyker, said: “We believe the
Saab brand has lots of potential and would be keen to close a deal as
quickly as possible.”
Mr Muller, whose company has a workforce of only 133 people, added
that he was continuing to have a “constructive dialogue” with GM
bosses.
No details have been revealed about how much either Spyker or Genii
and Mr Ecclestone are offering for Saab.
