Motor Industry Research Association

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Motor Industry Research Association, often known as MIRA, is a limited company based in the United Kingdom, which provides product engineering, research, testing, information and certification services to the automotive sector. It was formed in 1945.


"Recent and ongoing events in the North American and European auto supplier sector have once again highlighted the important role merger and acquisition (M&A) activity can play in the industry’s restructuring. Current industry challenges suggest an intensification of this activity now appears possible in 2006/07, representing continuation of an evolution that has been apparent for over ten years. The dynamic nature of this trend has resulted in a significant realignment of the global supplier sector, as players have exited and entered the business, either partially or completely, willingly or reluctantly, or used M&A to redefine and sharpen corporate strategy around core businesses."
