April 4 (Reuters) – Printed circuit boards maker Viasystems

Group Inc will acquire smaller rival DDi Corp

for about $268 million in cash, to add more products to its

portfolio and expand its manufacturing base in North America.

“The transaction allows Viasystems, to increase its market

share in the technically demanding military and aerospace market

and the growing industrial and instrumentation market,” the

companies said in a statement.

The $13.00 per share offer price is a 6 percent premium to

DDi’s Tuesday close.
