PARIS -- PSA Group no longer needs its 25 percent stake in its former logistics division, Gefco, the maker of Peugeot and Citroen cars said on Monday after French newspaper Les Echos reported that the holding had been put up for sale.
PSA "observes that Gefco's operating performance and diversified client portfolio mean that its capital stake is no longer necessary," a spokesman for the carmaker said. "No transaction has been identified at this stage," he added.
The French carmaker put its minority holding on sale after a five-year commitment to retain it expired in December, the French financial daily reported, citing unnamed sources.
PSA sold three-quarters of the logistics business to Russia's RZD state-owned railway operator for 800 million euros ($995 million) in 2012, amid a cash crisis that took the carmaker close to insolvency.
PSA, which last year acquired Opel and Vauxhall from General Motors, signed a new five-year, 8 billion-euro contract with Gefco in 2016 and remains its biggest client.
