In October 2021, Qualcomm and SSW Partners reached an agreement to buy Veoneer for $4.5 billion.[6] As part of the deal, SSW Partners would sell Veoneer's Arriver business to Qualcomm. The acquisition closed in April 2022.[7] In June 2022, Bloomberg News reported that SSW Partners had started to prepare work on divesting the remainder of Veoneer's businesses.[8] In December 2022, it was announced SSW Partners had sold Veoneer's active safety portion to the Aurora-headquartered automotive parts manufacturer, Magna International for $1.52 billion USD.[9]
In December 2023, American Industrial Partners Capital Fund VII (AIP Fund VII) completed the acquisition of Veoneer's Restraint Control Systems business from SSW Partners LP. This transaction concluded the strategic divestiture of Veoneer's three principal divisions, aiming to find suitable long-term stakeholders for each. The other two divisions, Arriver Software and Active Safety, were previously acquired by Qualcomm and Magna International, respectively. The sale to AIP Fund VII represents the final phase in the restructuring process initiated by Veoneer and SSW Partners LP.[10]
