據(jù)路透社報道，蒂森克虜伯目前至少收到了三個不同的競價，意在買下蒂森克虜伯最具盈利能力的電梯部門的大部分股份。蒂森克虜伯集團是德國的鋼鐵制造業(yè)和汽車制造業(yè)的企業(yè)集團，在今年早些時候宣布要賣出其電梯部門，對集團業(yè)務(wù)進行大規(guī)模改革。其中，電梯部門是該集團最有盈利能力的部門。通力電梯曾有意收購蒂森克虜伯的電梯部門，與CVC私人股權(quán)投資公司合作，解決了潛在的壟斷問題。另一個競價則是私人股權(quán)公司Blackstone黑石集團、Carlyle卡萊集團和加拿大養(yǎng)老計劃投資委員會共同出價；第三個則是來自于Advent安宏資本、Cinvin資本公司和阿布扎比投資管理公司。目前，蒂森克虜伯有一位主要持股人想極力促成對電梯部門全盤出售的工作，而包括勞工代表在內(nèi)的其他股東則表示，如果條件允許，蒂森克虜伯仍對電梯部門仍持有小部份股份。蒂森克虜伯也在最近宣布在系統(tǒng)工程部門削減640個崗位。該部門為汽車、航天器及電池行業(yè)提供建立組裝線的服務(wù)。此次裁員是除了電梯部門以外其他三個表現(xiàn)不佳的部門內(nèi)部的大規(guī)模重組舉措。

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.
