The offer was made last week and has sent GKN\u2019s share price soaring to almost 450p. Of course, the bid from Melrose is far from a done deal. Outwardly GKN are opposed to the takeover and have issued a statement on the \u201cunsolicited proposal from Melrose.\u201d<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">GKN believes that the Melrose proposal is, \u201centirely opportunistic and that the terms fundamentally undervalued the Company and its prospects.\u201d In reply Melrose issued a statement saying, \u201cthere would be significant operational and commercial benefits arising from Melrose\u2019s ownership of GKN\u2019s businesses, reversing a history of existing GKN management not delivering on margin targets.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dayton Horvath<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, AM industry analyst, gave his perspective on the news, \u201cIt&#8217;s not surprising that GKN&#8217;s multiple business units and manufacturing strengths in light of recent profit warnings and a high (58,000) employee count, have drawn takeover attention.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The shadow of a takeover has loomed over GKN for some time. Analyst consensus is that the company has been poorly managed and failed to capitalise on opportunities. A slowdown in the U.S. aerospace division, with inventory write-downs potentially reaching \u00a3130m led to a profit warning and the departure of former CEO Kevin Cummings in 2017.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With blood in the water, other potential buyers may appear. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">GKN is already working with GE Additive<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and speculation as to whether Siemens or Oerlikon may acquire GKN has also been raised. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Additive manufacturing analyst Dayton Horvath adds, \u201cThe unique perspective for this potential takeover is the ultimate sale of GKN&#8217;s powder metallurgy business, which stands to gain significant value on two fronts. First, the powder metallurgy market maintains respectable single digit growth while the additive manufacturing market experiences continued double digit compounded growth and both of these markets demand metal powder from the likes of GKN, Sandvik, and Oerlikon Metco amongst others.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For Melrose the \u00a37 billion takeover would be their largest to date, with a long line of engineering enterprise acquisitions stretching back to 2005.  In September 2016, Melrose brought Nortek, ventilation equipment manufacturer, for \u00a32.2 billion. Other deals include Dynacast, a manufacturer of diecast parts and components, McKechnie, an engineering group, and Elster, a metering business.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Observers have remarked that breaking up a major engineering group like GKN would be disadvantageous for the UK. Politician Vince Cable states, \u201cGKN stands for long term investment in advanced manufacturing whereas<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">[Melrose] are in the business of short-term financial engineering.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_127620\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-127620\" src=\"https:\/\/3dprintingindustry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Vince-Cable-leader-of-the-Liberal-Democrats.-1024x529.jpg\" alt=\"Vince Cable, leader of the Liberal Democrats.\" width=\"1024\" height=\"529\" srcset=\"https:\/\/3dprintingindustry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Vince-Cable-leader-of-the-Liberal-Democrats.-1024x529.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/3dprintingindustry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Vince-Cable-leader-of-the-Liberal-Democrats.-770x398.jpg 770w, https:\/\/3dprintingindustry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Vince-Cable-leader-of-the-Liberal-Democrats.-200x103.jpg 200w, https:\/\/3dprintingindustry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Vince-Cable-leader-of-the-Liberal-Democrats.-500x258.jpg 500w, https:\/\/3dprintingindustry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Vince-Cable-leader-of-the-Liberal-Democrats..jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Vince Cable, leader of the Liberal Democrats.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><b> at GKN<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">GKN has said that 3D printing is a \u201cprimary focus\u201d for the company in terms of investment activity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">GKN both supply 3D printing materials and use 3D printing in several business units.

The AncorAM range of titanium powders for 3D printing are made in the 10,000 sq ft hall at GKN\u2019s Powder Innovation Center in New Jersey, this asset may be one of the first to be sold off after a takeover. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hoeganaes produces over 240,000 tons of metal powder per year, and has approximately one fifth of the wider market. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The full list of divisions at GKN consists of:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">GKN Aerospace, mainly based in the UK, Sweden and the Netherlands. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">GKN Driveline, primarily Europe and North America with a joint venture in China. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">GKN Powder Metallurgy, mainly North America with sites in Europe and Asia Pacific. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">GKN Land Systems are mainly based in Europe and North America<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Speaking at an event in 2017, Guido Degen, Senior Vice President Business Development &amp; Advanced Technology explained the importance of metal 3D printing, \u201cwe are fully committed to taking a pioneering role in the industry in terms of digitalizing our company and our offers.
