MARELLI AUTOMOTIVE SYSTEMS UK LIMITED
Company number 02147831 · Monitor this company
Executive summary
Marelli Automotive Systems UK Limited presents a high-risk profile driven by technical insolvency (net liabilities of £160.3m), negligible cash reserves (£255), and complete dependence on a parent group undergoing Chapter 11 restructuring in the United States. While operational performance has improved with a return to operating profitability before exceptional items, the company cannot fund its own working capital and survives only through intercompany cash pooling arrangements whose continuity depends on the successful outcome of the group's restructuring process, expected to conclude in 2026. The material going concern uncertainty declared by the directors, combined with the Chapter 11 proceedings, means this entity carries existential risk despite its substantial revenue base of £528.6m.
