Germany: Schaeffler and Vitesco Technologies Group have agreed to combine their businesses through the merger of Vitesco Technologies Group into Schaeffler. Following the completion of the transaction before the end of 2024, the equipment suppliers will create a new motion technology company to continue to serve their customers across four divisions.
Schaeffler chief executive officer Klaus Rosenfeld said “At Schaeffler, we are fully convinced that both companies ideally complement each other and will thus be stronger together. We are pleased that, after intense and, in part, for both sides, challenging discussions, we came to a business combination agreement, which now lays the ground for a swift and effective integration.”
