伊頓董事長兼首席執行官 Craig Arnold 和首席執行官 Kim Fausing 握手

今天，丹佛斯已經簽訂了收購伊頓液壓業務的協議。此次收購標志著公司歷史和“走向偉大”戰略的一個重要里程碑。?

丹佛斯今天宣布已簽署協議，以 33 億美元（約 30 億歐元）的現金收購價格收購伊頓的液壓業務。此次收購完全符合丹佛斯加強其核心業務和提升客戶價值的戰略。

“今天，我們在打造移動和工業液壓領域的全球領導者方面邁出了重要的變革性一步。這是一個千載難逢的機會，可以結合我們在很大程度上互補的投資組合和地理足跡。伊頓液壓是全球行業中備受推崇的參與者，以其敬業的員工和強大的品牌而聞名。通過結合兩家企業的知識和經驗，我們的客戶將受益于單一合作伙伴無與倫比的專業知識。通過這項協議，我們將繼續投資于我們的核心液壓業務和數字解決方案，以保持強大的技術合作伙伴地位，”丹佛斯總裁兼首席執行官 Kim Fausing 說。

“我們相信，作為一家以液壓為核心的公司的一部分，伊頓的液壓業務將受益匪淺，”伊頓董事長兼首席執行官 Craig Arnold 說。“完成后，這筆交易將匯集兩個擁有深厚液壓知識和專業知識的才華橫溢的團隊。伊頓的液壓團隊將成為一家致力于成為移動和工業液壓領域全球領導者的公司的一部分。合并后的業務還將通過提供行業領先的技術和更廣泛的液壓解決方案組合使客戶和分銷商受益。”?

丹佛斯和伊頓液壓業務是該行業的領導者，并且在組織結構上有許多相似之處，包括公司文化和對客戶、研發和質量的關注。這兩項業務都是全球性的，具有互補的地理足跡，合并后的業務在全球范圍內創造了更廣泛的影響力。此外，此次收購將使丹佛斯能夠進入伊頓液壓服務的工業液壓市場。

伊頓液壓為農業、建筑和工業細分市場等市場的客戶提供產品。該業務將轉移到現有的丹佛斯業務部門丹佛斯動力解決方案，增加約 11,000 名員工，2019 年該業務部門的銷售額將達到 22 億美元（20 億歐元），這將使液壓業務翻一番。丹佛斯如今擁有約 28,000 名員工，2019 年銷售額為 70 億美元（63 億歐元）。因此，通過此次交易，丹佛斯的規模將擴大三分之一。

“液壓是我們的核心，多年來，我們通過高度關注客戶以及對技術領先地位的重大投資，加強了我們的動力解決方案業務。我相信我們的客戶將受益于將這兩項業務合并為一家致力于創新的全系列液壓公司，并提供廣泛的產品、強大的分銷渠道和巨大的地理覆蓋范圍，”丹佛斯動力解決方案總裁 Eric Alstr?m 說。

該交易須符合慣例成交條件和監管批準，預計將于今年年底完成。

Tuesday, January 21, 2020

Handshake between Eaton Chairman and CEO, Craig Arnold and CEO, Kim Fausing

Today, Danfoss has entered into an agreement to acquire Eaton’s?Hydraulics business.?The acquisition marks a major milestone in the company’s history and its Going Great strategy.?

Danfoss today announced that it has entered into an agreement to acquire Eaton’s Hydraulics business for a cash purchase price of 3.3 billion USD (approximately 3.0 billion EUR). The acquisition is fully in line with Danfoss’ strategy to strengthen its core businesses and enhance customer value.

“Today, we take a significant and transformational step in creating a global leader in mobile and industrial hydraulics. It is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to combine our largely complementary portfolios and geographic footprints. Eaton Hydraulics is a highly respected player in the global industry, recognized for its dedicated people and strong brands. By combining the knowledge and experience of the two businesses, our customers will benefit from unmatched expertise from a single partner. With this agreement, we continue to invest in our core hydraulics business and digital solutions to stay a strong technology partner,” says Kim Fausing, Danfoss President and CEO.

“We believe Eaton’s Hydraulics business will benefit greatly from being part of a company that has hydraulics at its core,” says Craig Arnold, Eaton Chairman and CEO. “When complete, this deal will bring together two talented teams with deep hydraulics knowledge and expertise.?And Eaton’s hydraulics team will be part of a company that is committed to becoming a global leader in mobile and industrial hydraulics.?The combined business will also benefit customers and distributors by offering industry-leading technology and a much broader portfolio of hydraulic solutions.”?

The Danfoss and Eaton Hydraulics businesses are leaders in the industry and have many organizational similarities, including company culture and a focus on customers, R&D and quality. Both businesses are global with complementary geographic footprints and the combined business creates a broader presence across the world. Furthermore, the acquisition will enable Danfoss to enter the industrial hydraulics market that is served by Eaton Hydraulics.

Eaton Hydraulics provides products for customers in markets such as agriculture, construction, and in industrial market segments. The business will be transferred into the existing Danfoss business segment, Danfoss Power Solutions, adding approximately 11,000 employees and 2019 sales of 2.2 billion USD (2.0 billion EUR) to the business segment, which will double the hydraulics business. Danfoss today has approximately 28,000 employees and 2019 sales of 7.0 billion USD (6.3 billion EUR). Accordingly, with this transaction, Danfoss will increase its size by one-third.

“Hydraulics is our core, and we have for years strengthened our Power Solutions business through high customer focus, as well as through significant investments in technology leadership. I believe our customers will benefit from combining these two businesses into a full-line hydraulics player dedicated to innovation and with a broad offering of products, robust distribution channels and tremendous geographic reach,” says Eric Alstr?m, President of Danfoss Power Solutions.

The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals and is expected to close by the end of the year.

These statements should be used with caution and are subject to various risks and uncertainties, some of which are outside of the company’s control. Factors that could cause these statements to become untrue include possible delay or failure of the satisfaction of all closing conditions.?We do not assume any obligation to update these forward-looking statements.
