LONDON/MONTREAL/PARIS: Bombardier has approached France's Alstom and Japan's Hitachi to find a merger partner for its rail business as it struggles to contain costs that have eaten into margins, sources told Reuters.
It has been reviewing several rail merger scenarios in recent months which also involved a possible deal with Germany's Siemens and a Chinese counterpart, but these options failed to gain traction, one of the sources said. Alstom, advised by Rothschild, was only recently involved in a similar rail merger with Siemens - a deal set to create a European rail powerhouse but subsequently halted over antitrust concerns.
Hitachi's biggest rail market in Europe is Britain where there is little overlap with Bombardier's operations. European regulators are set to review two-decade old rules that determine if companies have the market power to hammer rivals - a move that could help Bombardier win consensus for its rail deal.Bombardier sold 30 per cent of its rail business to Canada's second-largest pension fund, Caisse de depot et placement du Quebec, in 2015 after reviewing strategic options including a possible listing in Germany or Britain.
