Saab Automobile Confirms 7-8 Potential Buyers

Posted on 27. Feb, 2009 by Ryan in 2000-2009

Trollhattan, Sweden’s TTELA reports that Saab Automobile’s Gunilla Gustavs confirms that there are 7 to 8 potential buyers that have made serious inquiries about buying Saab Automobile AB.

Again, we know these are Swedish and foreign companies, within and outside of the automotive industry.

I guess Deutsche Bank is now somehow involved in finding a new buyer for Saab, presumably because of their ties with Opel & Saab’s products, engineering, design and production that has been closely integrated in Russelheim, Germany over the years?

We know who is NOT interested in acquiring Saab, so are the parties actually interested in Saab?

Anyone with insight into this, please contact Saab History.
