Arms Tycoon Strnad Buys 14% of Pirelli From China
Arms tycoon Strnad, funded by CSG’s record January 2026 stock-market listing, buys a 14% stake in Pirelli from China. Governments scrutinized Sinochem’s grip under industrial security rules over Chinese state control of connected-tyre data and know-how. Strnad inherited CSG in 2018 and spent about €1 billion to reshape Pirelli’s ownership.
