Saudi Arabia’s Electrical Industries Company (EIC) is in negotiations to acquire the assets of CG Power, a leading designer and manufacturer of electrical transformers based in Belgium, which has been in liquidation since January.

In a statement to Saudi stock exchange Tadawul, EIC said the assets of the Belgium-based company include machinery, equipment, inventory, software and intellectual property rights.

“The Board has also decided to establish a Limited Liability Co in Belgium to transfer the assets in case of concluding the purchase agreement,” the statement said. The technology will be transferred to EIC’s factories in Saudi Arabia.

EIC was established in 2005 with the merger of Waha Electric Supply Company of Saudi Arabia (WESCOSA) and Saudi Transformers Company (STC).
