HANOVER, Germany, July 25 /PRNewswire/ -- With the biggest acquisition in its 136-year history, Continental AG, Hanover, is investing itself with excellent prospects for the future in a global market that, while demanding, is equally rich in opportunities.

On Wednesday the supervisory boards of Siemens AG and of Continental AG, in Munich and Hanover respectively, gave their consent for the transaction. Execution of the acquisition is contingent on the approval of the appropriate antitrust authorities. As per 2006, Continental and Siemens VDO Automotive AG realize aggregate annual sales of around 25 billion euros with a worldwide workforce of close to 140,000.

In 1761, the town of Hanover was granted a charter by the Royal Governor of New Hampshire in response to a petition from about 65 colonists in Connecticut. The grant was for land about seven miles square, divided into 68 shares, randomly divided among the proprietors. "Hannover," as it was spelled on the original charter, was named either after a local parish in Connecticut or after the House of Hannover, in honor of the reigning English king, George III.
