Both companies are UK-based, and while Versarien develops and supplies advanced engineering materials, AAC Cyroma produces plastic and injection moulded products.

"Operations will be combined to create a single entity that will have $4.47bn in annual revenue."

US rail product manufacturer Wabtec is set to merge with Faiveley Transport, an integrated systems supplier for the railway industry based in France, with the European Commission (EC) having cleared the proposal.

Under the agreement, Wabtec will acquire Faiveley by the fourth quarter of 2016, with operations then being combined to create a single entity with €4bn ($4.47bn) in annual revenue.

The EC’s approval is based on the condition of Faiveley Transport selling its sintered brake material business named Faiveley Transport Gennevilliers (FTG).
