Kering a annoncé cette semaine l’acquisition d’Usinage & Nouvelles Technologies (UNT), un fournisseur jurassien de composants métalliques de haute précision utilisés dans la lunetterie, la bijouterie, l'horlogerie et les instruments médicaux. Cette opération permet au groupe de luxe français d'accroître sa capacité de production et l'intégration verticale de son activité lunettes, en plein essor. Le patron d'UNT, Denis Hochedé, âgé de 68 ans, a déclaré au quotidien Le Progrèsqu’il souhaitait prendre sa retraite et qu’il n'avait pas de successeur. Kering représente à lui seul près de 50 % des commandes d'UNT. Les négociations ont commencé en septembre et la transaction devrait être finalisée en juin, si les autorités de la concurrence donnent leur aval.
