Spain considering support for potential Sidenor bid for Talgo

MADRID (Reuters) -The Spanish government is considering financial support for the partial or total purchase of train manufacturer Talgo by Basque steel maker Sidenor, Transport Minister Oscar Puente said.

“We are here to help Talgo on its path of seeking more industrial capacity and a new shareholder composition, which will also give it stability in the future,” Puente told reporters at a conference about mobility in Madrid on Tuesday.

The central government could participate in the bid through state holding company SEPI, the minister said, adding the regional Basque government could also chip in.

Last month, Sidenor said it was considering buying all or part of the train maker.

Hungarian consortium Ganz-Mavag earlier withdrew a tender offer for Talgo following the Spanish government’s opposition to the deal.

Spokespeople at Sidenor and SEPI declined to comment. The Basque regional government and Talgo did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
