December 1, 2025 | IMIEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Integrated Micro-Electronics (IMI), through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Coöperatief IMI Europe U.A., announced the sale of its 50.32% stake in VIA Optronics Holding AG to Kronen 3140 GmbH (to be known in the future as V-PTR Beteiligungs GmbH) which is owned by some members of VIA’s management and advisory team. The parties have agreed to a consideration structure with both fixed and post-closing variable earn-out components.
This strategic divestment is part of IMI’s portfolio realignment strategy which aims to sharpen the company’s focus on its core strengths in the automotive and industrial EMS sectors. The move also supports the optimization of IMI’s global footprint to concentrate capital and management allocation into high-growth, high-profitability markets.
Meanwhile, VIA will benefit from the increased focus of a management-led ownership structure and greater flexibility to seek strategic partners that better align with the company’s long-term growth and profitability goals. VIA’s leadership team is well positioned to drive future innovation and adapt to the unique challenges of its market.
