Acquisitions
In 2015, Bekaert acquired Pirelli's steel cord business and will supply steel cord to Pirelli for years to come.[4] Steel cord provides strength to the rubber car tire. This was the largest acquisition in Bekaert's history, adding approximately 300 million euros per year to consolidated sales.[4]
In January 2026, it was announced that Bekaert had agreed to acquire Bridgestone’s tyre reinforcement business in China and Thailand for €60 million. The transaction, which includes two manufacturing facilities, is expected to close in the first half of 2026 subject to regulatory approvals.[5]
