Siemens Aktiengesellschaft SIEGY announced that it closed the previously announced sale of Innomotics to KPS Capital Partners. This move marks a step toward optimizing SEIGY’s portfolio.
Siemens’ Strategic Transaction With KPS
On May 16, 2024, SIEGY inked a deal with KPS to sell its Innomotics business for €3.5 billion ($3.85 billion).
Siemens decided in November 2022 to consolidate its significant drive and electric motor companies under one roof and operate them independently outside of Siemens's core business. This implementation of the Innomotics sale is a step forward in that goal.
The sale brought clarity to Innomotics' customers and employees, paving the way for extensive growth opportunities. With a high growth potential driven by sustainability-oriented demand for efficient electrification, Innomotics is well-positioned to continue its success with KPS.
Siemens and its shareholders will gain from a focus on integrating the real and digital worlds.
SIEGY’s Focus on Expanding Core Product Offerings
In September 2024, the company announced that it inked a deal to acquire Trayer Engineering, a medium-voltage secondary distribution switchgear specialist based in the United States. This move aligns with SIEGY’s strategy of expanding its grid modernization product offering. Siemens' digital solutions enhance Trayer's robust offerings. The Siemens Xcelerator portfolio, including Electrification X, complements Trayer's solutions. This combination enables utilities and municipalities to upgrade their distribution grids. It also drives grid efficiency in outdoor and underground applications.
SIEGY also announced that Siemens Smart Infrastructure and E.ON Drive Infrastructure signed a global framework agreement to improve Europe's electric vehicle charging infrastructure. The partnership will provide Siemens with access to the web-based backend service Sifinity Control and DC charging stations.
This collaboration is expected to make a substantial contribution to Europe's e-mobility growth by offering a seamless and efficient charging experience for millions of electric vehicle users.
