It was a subsidiary of FIAT (now Stellantis Europe) from 1967 onwards.
On 22 October 2018, FCA announced that Magneti Marelli was being bought by KKR, to be merged with the Japanese automotive company Calsonic Kansei for $7.2 billion, a deal that would create one of the world's largest auto parts suppliers. [4] [5]
In May 2019, Magneti Marelli and Calsonic Kansei merged to form Marelli. [2]
