Item 2.  Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

        On November 22, 1996, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated
as of November 18, 1996 (the "Merger Agreement") among Intermet Corporation, a
Georgia corporation ("Registrant"), I M Acquisition Corp. ("Merger
Subsidiary"), a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Registrant, and Sudbury, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Sudbury"), which was
filed as Exhibit (2) to Form 8-K/A filed by the Registrant under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 on November 26, 1996, Merger Subsidiary commenced a tender
offer to purchase all of the outstanding shares of common stock of Sudbury for
a cash price of $12.50 per share (the "Tender Offer").  The Tender Offer
expired as scheduled at midnight on December 20, 1996.  In the Tender Offer,
11,852,746 shares were validly tendered representing approximately 95.2% of the
outstanding shares of common stock of Sudbury, and all of such shares were
accepted for payment by Merger Subsidiary on December 21, 1996.

        On January 2, 1997, pursuant to the provisions of Delaware law
providing for a merger in the case in which at least 90% of the outstanding
shares of one corporation are owned by another corporation, Merger Subsidiary
was merged into Sudbury, with Sudbury being the surviving corporation (the
"Merger").  Shares of Sudbury common stock which were not tendered in the
Tender Offer were canceled and converted automatically into the right to
receive $12.50 per share in cash.

        The total amount of funds required to purchase all outstanding shares
of Sudbury pursuant to the Tender Offer and the Merger is approximately
$156 million.  Merger Subsidiary obtained the funds needed for the Tender
Offer, in part,  pursuant to a Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement
dated as of November 14, 1996 (the "Credit Agreement") among Registrant,
Suntrust Bank, Atlanta, NBD Bank, First Union National Bank of North Carolina
and certain other banks (the "Banks").  Under the Credit Agreement, the Banks
provided to the Registrant a senior unsecured revolving credit facility in the
aggregate amount of $200 million (the "Revolving Credit Facility").  Advances
under the Revolving Credit Facility and cash on hand were used to finance the
acquisition of the shares of Sudbury and to pay related fees and expenses.

        Sudbury, whose principal offices are located at 30100 Chagrin
Boulevard, Suite 203, Cleveland, Ohio 44124, is engaged in the manufacture and
sale of metal castings, precision machined components and cranes and specialty
service vehicles, and also provides custom coating application services.  Its
customers include original equipment manufacturers in the automotive industry,
as well as in the consumer durables and construction sectors.  Sudbury reported
revenues of approximately $302.2 million for the year ended May 31, 1996 and
net income of approximately $15.9 million.  Sudbury reported revenues of
approximately $72.1 million for the quarter ended August 31, 1996, and net
income of approximately $2.8 million.

        The assets of Sudbury are presently used in the businesses described
above and the Registrant presently intends to continue to use the assets of
Sudbury for such purposes.
