Siemens completed the acquisition of ebm-papst’s industrial drive technology business
“The new portfolio elements significantly expand and enhance our offerings to customers who want to automate and digitalize their production processes in smart factories” said Achim Peltz, CEO of the Motion Control Business Unit at Siemens Digital Industries. “Our integrated mechatronic drive systems offer increased flexibility, productivity and efficiency in the growing global market for conveyor and autonomous transport systems, including mobile robots, driverless transport systems and shuttles."
These systems support Siemens' sustainability goals by providing energy-efficient solutions and helping create flexible, scalable and secure digital factories. In conjunction with software-based automation, where automation components are enhanced with IT and software methods, these solutions represent another step towards adaptive production – and another element in Siemens' strategy to connect the real with the digital world.
The ebm-papst Group first announced its intention to sell its Industrial Drive Technology division to Siemens in March of 2024, and both parties signed an agreement to this effect. The sale to Siemens has now been completed, giving IDT access to the international market through Siemens' global Sales organization. This creates new opportunities for innovation and continued business growth. All of the division's employees have been taken on by Siemens. The parties involved have agreed to not disclose the price.
