En la segunda mitad de la década del setenta el gobierno militar tomó la decisión de privatizar un conjunto de empresas que por distintas circunstancias habían quedado bajo su control. Este fue el caso de SIAM Di Tella, una empresa emblemática en la Argentina. Sin embargo, el proceso de privatización no pudo llevarse a cabo durante esos años dadas las múltiples presiones cruzadas de los diversos sectores militares enquistados a su vez en distintos reductos de poder. A partir de 1981, la crisis macroeconomica, los cambios de gabinete y las presiones sindicales tornaron inviable el proyecto privatizador. El objetivo se lograría a mediados de los años ochenta, después de un proceso de marchas y contramarchas notablemente extendido en el tiempo, durante un gobierno democrático que se oponía a avanzar hacia las luego llamadas reformas estructurales pero que indudablemente no tenía capacidad para impulsar la revitalización productiva de SIAM. Empresas líderes en sus respectivas áreas tomaron las principales plantas de la empresa y, con excepción de la ex-SIAT, desaparecieron como ámbitos productivos en los años noventa.
