Siemens to Acquire Industrial Drive Technology Business of ebm-papst
西門子將收購依必安派特工業驅動技術業務

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.

西門子公司已簽署協議，收購依必安派特（ebm-papst）的工業驅動技術（IDT）業務。該業務擁有約 650 名員工，包括保護性超低電壓范圍內的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駛的無人駕駛運輸系統。此次計劃收購將補充西門子 Xcelerator 產品組合，并鞏固西門子作為靈活生產自動化領先解決方案提供商的地位。

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.”

西門子股份公司董事會成員兼數字化工業首席執行官 Cedrik Neike 表示：“依必安派特的機電一體化驅動系統創新產品組合及其高素質人才非常適合西門子。此次收購將使我們能夠在快速增長的市場中挖掘新的業務和客戶潛力，為內部物流和移動機器人解決方案提供智能電池驅動解決方案。”

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產品是智能、集成的機電系統，支持生產過程的自動化和數字化。此次收購將成為西門子 Xcelerator 產品組合的有力補充。通過在移動機器人和無人駕駛運輸車輛以及輔助流程自動化（例如現代生產機器的改造）中的使用，它們成為提高靈活性和生產力的重要杠桿。因此，預計該細分市場有望實現高市場增長。

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產品組合整合到現有的自動化產品組合中，并利用西門子的全球銷售網絡，將打開新的市場渠道，并在靈活和自主的工廠自動化領域產生巨大的商業潛力。

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.

該交易將于2025年年中完成，但須獲得必要的外貿和并購管制批準。依必安派特的IDT業務位于德國圣格奧爾根 (St. Georgen) 和佩格尼茨河畔勞夫 (Lauf an der Pegnitz) 以及羅馬尼亞奧拉迪亞 (Oradea)。雙方同意不透露并購價格。

“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 Geißdörfer, 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.”

依必安派特集團首席執行官 Klaus Geißdörfer 博士補充道：“西門子的收購對我們來說是具有戰略意義的一步。迄今為止，我們的工業驅動技術 (IDT) 業務所缺乏的是實現最大增長的全球銷售組織。西門子是我們的長期客戶，也是一家擁有強大國際市場滲透力和廣泛客戶基礎的公司?，F已達成一致的整合將使我們的 IDT業務能夠進入全球市場。它將為創新和進一步發展開辟新的視野。我們將利用出售 IDT 業務的收益進一步擴大我們的空氣技術和供熱技術部門，進一步加強我們的三個地區——歐洲、亞洲和美洲——并投資于我們產品組合的未來領域，如數字化和可持續性。”

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.

此次對智能、集成和網絡連接機電一體化系統的投資突顯了西門子對可持續創新的承諾，及其作為面向未來的靈活生產自動化系統和解決方案的領先供應商的地位。
