ROME: Stellantis Chief Executive said he did not rule out extraordinary operations for the company although the car maker is now focused on itself, speaking in an interview published on Thursday.

“I do not want to open to speculation, we will see. For the moment Stellantis is concentrated on focusing on itself and on what surrounds it,” CEO Carlos Tavares told financial daily Il Sole 24 Ore, when asked whether he would consider any extraordinary operations for the newly-formed carmaker.

Tavares added that M&A operations would be taken into consideration only if they represented a way to reach “more quickly a sufficient scale to support growth”.
