蒂森克虏伯电梯部门投标竞价情况

据路透社报道，蒂森克虏伯目前至少收到了三个不同的竞价，意在买下蒂森克虏伯最具盈利能力的电梯部门的大部分股份。蒂森克虏伯集团是德国的钢铁制造业和汽车制造业的企业集团，在今年早些时候宣布要卖出其电梯部门，对集团业务进行大规模改革。其中，电梯部门是该集团最有盈利能力的部门。通力电梯曾有意收购蒂森克虏伯的电梯部门，与CVC私人股权投资公司合作，解决了潜在的垄断问题。另一个竞价则是私人股权公司Blackstone黑石集团、Carlyle卡莱集团和加拿大养老计划投资委员会共同出价；第三个则是来自于Advent安宏资本、Cinvin资本公司和阿布扎比投资管理公司。目前，蒂森克虏伯有一位主要持股人想极力促成对电梯部门全盘出售的工作，而包括劳工代表在内的其他股东则表示，如果条件允许，蒂森克虏伯仍对电梯部门仍持有小部份股份。蒂森克虏伯也在最近宣布在系统工程部门削减640个岗位。该部门为汽车、航天器及电池行业提供建立组装线的服务。此次裁员是除了电梯部门以外其他三个表现不佳的部门内部的大规模重组举措。

THYSSENKRUPP RECEIVES BIDS FOR ELEVATOR DIVISION

thyssenkrupp has received at least three separate bids from groups hoping to purchase a majority stake in the company's elevator business, Reuters reports. thyssenkrupp AG, a Germany-based conglomerate with steelmaking and automotive divisions, asked for bids for thyssenkrupp Elevator earlier this year as part of a massive overhaul of its operations. The elevator division is the company's most profitable segment. KONE — which has been a suitor for some time — teamed up with private equity firm CVC to move beyond potential antitrust concerns. Another bid was jointly entered by private equity firms Blackstone and Carlyle and the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board; the third bid was a joint offer by Advent, Cinvin and the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority. A major shareholder is pushing an outright sale of the elevator division, but others, including labor representatives, want thyssenkrupp to retain a stake. The source said the bidders are prepared to take a minority stake, if necessary. thyssenkrupp also recently announced it was eliminating 640 jobs from its System Engineering division, which builds assembly lines for the automotive, aerospace and battery industries, as part of “major restructuring” of its three underperforming divisions.
