Daido Metal, an auto engine bearing manufacturer is prepared to acquire Thai business from Asahi Tec’s aluminium casting segment worth 10 billion yen ($85 million), hoping to support the company by using its own sales network.

After the acquisition, the company will purchase shares of ATA Casting Technology Japan, an Asahi Tec unit for 8 billion yen over subsidiary. The company will announce its official decision on Friday through the agreement likely to wind up in fiscal 2016.
