Acertec has completed the sale of its UK and Irish steel reinforcement products businesses.

Celsa is paying £17m for BRC and £8m for Acertec’s 50% stake in the Irish business, BRC McMahon.

This cash will come in useful. Acertec’s net debt was £64.1m at the end of 2007. 

Acertec will also receive an initial £14.3m for the sale of BRC Asia, and a further £3.6m 12 months later.

Acertec will be left with the Stadco automotive pressings operation and BRC‘s speciality products business. BRC generated operating profits of £3.4m last year, while the Irish joint venture contributed £1.8m.

Acertec shares were unchanged at 10.25p.
