Item 2.  Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

     On September 30, 1997 LDM Technologies, Inc., a Michigan corporation
("Registrant"), pursuant to the terms of a Stock Purchase Agreement dated
September 30, 1997 ("Agreement") filed as Exhibit 1 to this report on Form 8-K,
acquired from the various stockholders of Kenco Plastics, Inc., a Michigan
corporation, and Kenco Plastics, Inc., a Kentucky corporation (collectively,
the "Kenco Companies") all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the
Kenco Companies (the "Kenco Acquisition").  At the same time and pursuant to
the Agreement, the Registrant purchased substantially all of the operating
assets of Narens Design & Engineering Co. ("Narens"), a Michigan corporation
("Narens Acquisition") consisting of plant, equipment and inventory.

     The aggregate purchase price paid for the capital stock in the Kenco
Acquisition was $25,600,000 cash, subject to adjustment based on a closing date
balance sheet to be dated September 30, 1997, and the aggregate purchase price
paid for the assets in the Narens Acquisition was $1,900,000 cash.  The funds
required for the purchase price were acquired by the Registrant under its
Senior Credit Facility with Bank America Business Credit, Inc., as agent, for
itself and a group of banks.

     There was no material relationship between the stockholders of the Kenco
Companies and Narens and the Registrant or any of its affiliates, any director
or officer of the Registrant, or any associate of any such director or officer.

     The Kenco Companies and Narens are engaged in the business of designing,
engineering and manufacturing blow molded plastic parts for automotive original
equipment manufacturers. The business and operations of the Kenco Companies and
Narens will be continued by the Registrant substantially as they were conducted
prior to the acquisitions.
