Fitch rates Sanluis notes B

Fitch Ratings said it assigned Sanluis Rassini Autopartes, SA de CV local- and foreign-currency issuer default ratings of B-.

Fitch also assigned a B rating to the company's proposed $275 million notes due 2017.

The outlook is stable.

According to the agency, the company benefits from cost advantages, hard-currency generation and its position as leading producer of leaf springs suspension components.

The ratings also consider the company's high consolidated financial leverage on a pro forma basis, industry cyclicality, ongoing cost pressures and the parent company Sanluis Corporacion, SAB de CV's history of financial default, Fitch said.

On a pro forma basis, the company's debt-to-EBITDA ratio is expected to be about 3.6 times in 2007.
