Siemens AG, the German listed technology group, has recently announced the divestment of its subsidiary Siemens Turbomachinery Equipment GmbH to stock-listed, US-based Colfax Corporation (NYSE: CFX), a leading global manufacturer of gas- and fluid-handling and fabrication technology products and services.
Headquartered in Frankenthal, Germany, Siemens Turbomachinery Equipment (STE) is an innovator in the international turbomachinery business and develops, produces and distributes single stage, industrial and environmental compressors, steam turbines up to 12 MW and the related service business. The company sells its products to customers spread all over the world. For the fiscal year ended September 2016, STE had revenues of EUR 146 million and employed around 630 staff. The origin of the Frankenthal site dates back to the foundation of Frankenthaler Kesselschmiede and Maschinenfabrik Kühnle, Kopp & Kausch Aktiengesellschaft in 1899.
With the disposal to Colfax Corporation, Siemens further optimises its product and customer portfolio while it ensures a sustainable future development for STE since the company represents a perfect fit to Colfax. The acquisition will be integrated into Colfax's Howden business platform broadening its range of compression solutions as well as expanding its product offering into small steam turbines.
The transaction is expected to be closed during the fourth quarter of 2017, following completion of carve-out activities and fulfilment of customary closing conditions, including receipt of applicable regulatory approvals.
