FRANKFURT, Oct 28 (Reuters) - U.S. buyout group Bain Capital
is preparing the divestment of car parts maker FTE Automotive
PAIPRF.UL , seeking to take advantage of high sector
valuations, two people familiar with the matter said.
After receiving expressions of interest from Asian groups
Bain asked Rothschild ROT.UL to sound out options for the
clutch and brake-systems maker including a sale or initial
public offering which could take place as early as mid-2016, the
sources said.
Bain and Rothschild declined to comment.
