Melrose Industries PLC (LON:MRO) has raised around £200mln from two disposals as the turnaround specialist continues to work through its £8bn takeover last year of blue-chip automotive and aerospace parts firm GKN.
The FTSE 100-listed firm said it has agreed to sell Walterscheid Powertrain Group - previously known as GKN Off Highway Powertrain - to One Equity Partners a US-based private equity firm.

The group said combined net proceeds of the sales are approximately £200mln.
Melrose is due to report its full-year results on Thursday, March 7.
