Aston Martin Plans China Push While Awaiting IPO ‘Window’

Aston Martin, the closely held British sports-car maker, plans to increase sales to emerging markets and will soon start importing cars into China, as it keeps its sights on an initial public offering.

“We are still thinking of an IPO,” Chief Executive Office Ulrich Bez said today at a press briefing at the carmaker’s manufacturing center in Gaydon, west England. “We will be ready for it if the time is right. You need to pick the right window.”
