He emphasised that ES-Tec’s technical expertise and strong client relationships complement Tata Tech’s ambition to be the preferred partner for automakers transitioning to intelligent and sustainable mobility.

ES-Tec’s Managing Director and CEO, Marc Wille, echoed the sentiment, noting that the partnership with Tata Technologies would allow the German firm to broaden its service offerings and expand internationally. “Joining forces with Tata Technologies is a key step for the ES-Tec Group to extend the breadth and depth of capabilities and expand our international presence,” Wille said.

The acquisition is expected to be earnings per share (EPS) accretive from the first full year of operations, making it a financially rewarding deal for Tata Technologies as it expands its European footprint and strengthens its automotive domain leadership.
