A Singapore-based private equity and capital venture company has tipped $61m into South Korean motorcycle and auto parts maker Daelim Motor Co Ltd, via a new share issue.
The size of the stake in Daelim for Standard Chartered Private Equity is unknown, but the company generally likes to acquire a seat on the board of its portfolio companies, so we’re tipping it’s quite a large piece of the pie.
Established in 1978, Daelim Motor also makes Citi and Tact motorcycles, and supplies die-cast aluminium parts for engines and transmissions. It is part of the chemical and construction-focussed Daelim Group.
