Sale of Innomotics to KPS Completed
The sale of Innomotics, a globally leading provider of electric motors and large drive systems based in Nuremberg, Germany, was completed on October 1, 2024. Innomotics had previously operated as an independent subsidiary of Siemens AG ("Siemens") since July 1, 2023. The new owner of Innomotics is KPS Capital Partners, LP ("KPS").
For Innomotics, the completion of the sale represents an important milestone. The company aims to consistently further expand its position as a global market leader for electric motors and large drive systems. To this end, Innomotics continues to pursue its clear purpose "Redefining reliable motion for a better tomorrow" by rethinking electric drive technology: The focus is on higher reliability and efficiency as well as sustainability. The demand for such products and solutions has been increasing significantly for years, especially in traditional industrial sectors as well as new energy markets such as green hydrogen and carbon capture, utilization, and storage.
Simultaneously with the sale, Innomotics celebrates its one-year anniversary since the carve-out from Siemens and the conclusion of a successful fiscal year. Over the past months, Innomotics has developed into an internationally recognized, thriving independent brand. With more than 150 years of experience in developing efficient and reliable electric drive systems, Innomotics now also has the ability to make decisions even faster and thus react to a rapidly changing market. Innomotics believes that this will provide a significant benefit to its customers and employees worldwide.
Expansion of Global Technology Leadership in Electric Drive & Motor Technology
The partnership with KPS will allow Innomotics to continue its successful business development in the coming years. Innomotics is a technology leader in the development of electric motors and drive systems, while KPS has a strong track record of making manufacturing businesses better by structurally improving the strategic position, competitiveness and profitability of its portfolio companies. Further, the close collaboration between Innomotics and Siemens on a trustful basis through product and development partnerships will continue in selected areas.
Innomotics CEO Michael Reichle: "We are delighted to have an owner in KPS who is already deeply rooted in the manufacturing sector and has demonstrated an excellent track record of success. Together, we are convinced of our sustainable success and the further development of our business, and we are equally impressed by the commitment and motivation of the global Innomotics team supporting our transformation. We see great potential to continue to grow profitably and sustainably in the future, particularly in our key growth areas such as the replacement of compressor based steam and gas turbines with electric drive systems, the production of green hydrogen, as well as solutions for carbon capture, utilization, and storage.”
