西門子將收購依必安派(pai)特工業(ye)(ye)驅動技術(shu)業(ye)(ye)務(wu)

Siemens AG has signed an agreement to acquire the industrial drive technology (IDT) business of ebm-papst. The business, which employs around 650 people, includes intelligent, integrated mechatronic systems in the protective extra-low voltage range and innovative motion control systems. These systems are used in free-range driverless transport systems. The planned acquisition will complement the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio and strengthen Siemens’ position as a leading solutions provider for flexible production automation.

西(xi)門(men)子公司已(yi)簽署協議，收購(gou)依必安派特（ebm-papst）的(de)(de)(de)工(gong)(gong)業驅(qu)動技術(shu)（IDT）業務(wu)。該(gai)業務(wu)擁有約(yue) 650 名員工(gong)(gong)，包括保(bao)護性超低電壓范圍內的(de)(de)(de)智能集成機電一體化系統和創新運動控制系統。這些系統用于自由行(xing)駛的(de)(de)(de)無人駕(jia)駛運輸系統。此(ci)次計(ji)劃(hua)收購(gou)將(jiang)補充西(xi)門(men)子 Xcelerator 產品(pin)組合，并鞏固西(xi)門(men)子作為靈(ling)活生產自動化領先解(jie)決方(fang)案提供(gong)商(shang)的(de)(de)(de)地(di)位。

Cedrik Neike, member of the Managing Board of Siemens AG and CEO of Digital Industries, said: “Ebm-papst’s innovative portfolio of mechatronic drive systems and its highly qualified people are an excellent fit for Siemens. The acquisition will enable us to tap new business and customer potential in the rapidly growing market for intelligent, battery-powered drive solutions in intralogistics as well as mobile robot solutions.”

西門子(zi)股份(fen)公司董事會成員兼數(shu)字化(hua)工業首席執行(xing)官 Cedrik Neike 表示：“依必安派特(te)的(de)機電一體化(hua)驅(qu)動系統創(chuang)新(xin)產(chan)品組(zu)合及其高素質人才非常(chang)適合西門子(zi)。此次收購將使我(wo)們(men)能夠在快(kuai)速增長的(de)市場中挖掘(jue)新(xin)的(de)業務和(he)客戶潛力，為內部物流(liu)和(he)移動機器人解決方(fang)案(an)提供智能電池(chi)驅(qu)動解決方(fang)案(an)。”

IDT products are intelligent, integrated mechatronic systems, which support the automation and digitalization of production processes. This acquisition will be a strong addition to the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio. Through their use in mobile robots and driverless transport vehicles as well as in the automation of auxiliary processes, such as the retooling of modern production machines, they are an important lever for greater flexibility and productivity. For this reason, high market growth is expected in this market segment.

IDT產(chan)(chan)品(pin)是智能(neng)、集成的(de)機(ji)電系(xi)統，支持生(sheng)產(chan)(chan)過程的(de)自動(dong)化和數字化。此(ci)次(ci)收購將成為(wei)西門子 Xcelerator 產(chan)(chan)品(pin)組合的(de)有(you)(you)力(li)(li)補充。通過在移動(dong)機(ji)器(qi)人和無人駕駛運輸車輛以及輔助流程自動(dong)化（例如現(xian)(xian)代(dai)生(sheng)產(chan)(chan)機(ji)器(qi)的(de)改造）中的(de)使用(yong)，它(ta)們成為(wei)提高靈活性(xing)和生(sheng)產(chan)(chan)力(li)(li)的(de)重要杠(gang)桿。因此(ci)，預計該細分市場有(you)(you)望實(shi)現(xian)(xian)高市場增長。

The integration of the IDT portfolio into the existing automation portfolio and the utilization of Siemens’ global sales network will open up new market access and generate significant business potential in the area of flexible and autonomous factory automation.

將IDT產(chan)品組合整(zheng)合到現有(you)的(de)自動化(hua)產(chan)品組合中，并利用西(xi)門子的(de)全(quan)球(qiu)銷售網絡，將打(da)開新(xin)的(de)市(shi)場渠(qu)道，并在靈活和自主的(de)工廠自動化(hua)領域(yu)產(chan)生巨大的(de)商業(ye)潛力(li)。

The transaction is to be completed by mid-2025, subject to the necessary foreign trade and merger control approvals. The IDT business of ebm-papst is located in St. Georgen and Lauf an der Pegnitz, Germany, and in Oradea, Romania. The parties have agreed not to disclose the purchase price.

該交易(yi)將于2025年年中完成，但須獲得必(bi)要的外貿和(he)并購管制批準。依(yi)必(bi)安派特的IDT業務位(wei)于德國圣格奧爾根 (St. Georgen) 和(he)佩格尼茨河畔(pan)勞夫 (Lauf an der Pegnitz) 以及羅馬尼亞(ya)奧拉迪亞(ya) (Oradea)。雙方同意不(bu)透露并購價格。

“The acquisition by Siemens is a strategically significant step for us. What our industrial drive technology (IDT) business had lacked until now was a global sales organization for maximum growth. Siemens is a long-standing customer and a company with strong international market penetration and an extensive customer base. The integration that has now been agreed upon will give our IDT business global market access. It will open up new horizons for innovation and further growth,” added Dr. Klaus Gei?d?rfer, CEO of the ebm-papst Group. “We’ll use the proceeds from the sale of the IDT business to further expand our Air Technology and Heating Technology divisions, to further strengthen our three regions–Europe, Asia and the Americas–and to invest in future fields of our product portfolio, such as digitalization and sustainability.”

依必安派特(te)集團首席執行官 Klaus Gei?d?rfer 博士補充道(dao)：“西門(men)子的(de)(de)(de)收購對(dui)我們(men)(men)來說是具(ju)有戰(zhan)略意義的(de)(de)(de)一(yi)步。迄今為止，我們(men)(men)的(de)(de)(de)工業(ye)驅動技術(shu)(shu) (IDT) 業(ye)務所缺乏的(de)(de)(de)是實現(xian)最大(da)(da)增長(chang)的(de)(de)(de)全球銷售(shou)組織。西門(men)子是我們(men)(men)的(de)(de)(de)長(chang)期客(ke)戶(hu)，也是一(yi)家(jia)擁有強(qiang)大(da)(da)國際市場滲透力和(he)(he)廣(guang)泛客(ke)戶(hu)基礎的(de)(de)(de)公司(si)。現(xian)已達(da)成一(yi)致的(de)(de)(de)整合(he)將(jiang)使我們(men)(men)的(de)(de)(de) IDT業(ye)務能夠進(jin)(jin)入全球市場。它將(jiang)為創新(xin)和(he)(he)進(jin)(jin)一(yi)步發展開辟(pi)新(xin)的(de)(de)(de)視野。我們(men)(men)將(jiang)利用(yong)出售(shou) IDT 業(ye)務的(de)(de)(de)收益進(jin)(jin)一(yi)步擴大(da)(da)我們(men)(men)的(de)(de)(de)空氣技術(shu)(shu)和(he)(he)供熱技術(shu)(shu)部門(men)，進(jin)(jin)一(yi)步加強(qiang)我們(men)(men)的(de)(de)(de)三個地區(qu)——歐洲、亞(ya)洲和(he)(he)美洲——并投資于我們(men)(men)產(chan)品組合(he)的(de)(de)(de)未來領域，如數字化和(he)(he)可持續性。”

This investment in intelligent, integrated and network-connected mechatronic systems underscores Siemens’ commitment to sustainable innovation and its position as a leading supplier of systems and solutions for future-oriented, flexible production automation.

此(ci)次對智能、集成和(he)(he)網絡連接(jie)機電一體(ti)化(hua)(hua)系統的投資突顯了西(xi)門(men)子對可持(chi)續創新(xin)的承諾，及其(qi)作(zuo)為面向未來的靈活生產自動化(hua)(hua)系統和(he)(he)解決方(fang)案的領先供應商的地位。
