Clearlake Capital Group has acquired Sage Automotive Interiors, adding to a streak of car parts M&A activity.

Sage, headquartered in Greenville, South Carolina, supplies automotive textiles for seating and door panels to manufacturers. In addition to its headquarters, Sage operates manufacturing plants in Japan, China, Brazil, Korea, India and Poland. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Private equity firm Clearlake manages about $1.4 billion in equity capital and has made more than 70 investments. 

Nomura Securities International and SMX Capital Partners acted as Sage's financial advisers, and Kirkland & Ellis LLP provided legal advice to Clearlake. Weil Gotshal & Manges was Sage's legal adviser.

The deal comes as sales of new and used cars are rising all over the world, and as buyers have been scooping up makers of auto parts. For more, see 5 Buyers Find New Customers Abroad.
