經(jīng)過90年代中期的努力,FAG從這次嚴(yán)重的財務(wù)危機(jī)中走出的時候,盈利已經(jīng)是之前的三倍了,而此時正是世界排名第4位的FAG尋找合適的合作伙伴的時候了,這時的FAG轉(zhuǎn)向了當(dāng)時排名第三位的日本軸承巨頭NTN,然而在2001年卻被同一市場的競爭對手,世界排名第六位的INA惡意收購,被迫放棄管理權(quán),雖然當(dāng)時INA是同意保留FAG為分公司的管理權(quán)利,但之后卻出爾反爾,將FAG從上市名單中除名了(By the end of the decade, the company had regained its strong market position but was looking for strategic partners and negotiating with the world's number three bearings maker, Japanese NTN. However, in the fall of 2001, FAG, by then number four in the world's bearings market, fell victim to a hostile takeover by major competitor INA Holding Schaeffler KG, worldwide number six. After five weeks of arm-wrestling between the two companies, FAG's top management gave up their resistance. INA agreed to FAG remaining an independent subsidiary with its management holding based in Schweinfurt. However, INA delisted FAG from public trading. )! `7 f D4 A, F
