ABB宣布已簽署協議,將其英國技術工程咨詢業務剝離給德國萊茵TÜV,該業務是ABB能源工業部門的技術工程咨詢部分。該交易預計將在2023年第二季度完成,交易的財務條款沒有披露。
ABB的英國技術工程咨詢公司,包括分包商和聯營公司的網絡,有大約160人,在英格蘭東北部和西北部的兩個主要地點運營。一支專業的技術專家團隊幫助全球能源客戶提高工藝安全、設備和資產的完整性,以及為新的和現有的工業工廠進行技術設計。
ABB能源工業英國公司負責人Troy Stewart表示,我們的技術工程咨詢業務為客戶帶來的價值得到了高度認可,在能源轉型的過程中,在強勁行業順風的推動下,我們有很大的發展機會。這次剝離是在對我們的投資組合進行了兩年的戰略審查之后進行的,旨在加速業務的持續增長。萊茵TÜV是技術工程咨詢業務的一個很好選擇,在這里它可以實現令人興奮的增長機會并創造客戶價值。
萊茵TÜV英國公司總經理Gareth Book表示,在我們看到對可持續發展、脫碳和業務連續性的需求不斷增加的時候,我們期待創造增長、穩定和機會。ABB的英國技術工程咨詢業務將補充萊茵TÜV現有的風險、安全和完整性管理服務。我們的目標是在ABB和萊茵TÜV過去20年在英國建立的長期客戶關系和信任的基礎上,更上一層樓。
ABB的技術工程咨詢業務將被整合到萊茵TÜV在英國的工業服務和網絡安全業務。合并后的業務將創建一個可擴展的、基礎廣泛的技術工程提供商,為高危行業提供全方位服務,支持客戶的能源轉型以及能源安全。

ABB to divest UK technical engineering consultancy business to TÜV Rheinland
ABB announced it has signed an agreement to divest its UK technical engineering consultancy business, a technical engineering consultancy part of its Energy Industries division, to TÜV Rheinland. The transaction is expected to close in Q2 2023. The financial terms of the transaction will not be disclosed.
ABB’s UK technical engineering consultancy including a network of subcontractors and associates has around 160 people operating from two main sites in the northeast and the northwest of England. A specialist team of technical experts helps global energy customers improve process safety, equipment and asset integrity as well as technical design for new and existing industrial plants.
“Our technical engineering consultancy business is highly recognized for the value it brings to customers, and has significant opportunity for growth, enabled by strong industry tailwinds as we navigate the energy transition,” said Troy Stewart, Head of ABB Energy Industries UK. “This divestment follows a two-year strategic review of our portfolio and aims to accelerate the continued growth of the business. TÜV Rheinland is an excellent new home for the technical engineering consultancy business, where it can realize its exciting growth opportunity and create customer value.”
“We look forward to creating growth, stability and opportunity at a time where we are seeing increased demand for sustainability, decarbonization and business continuity,” said Gareth Book, Managing Director TÜV Rheinland UK. “ABB’s UK technical engineering consultancy will complement the existing risk, safety and integrity management services provided by TÜV Rheinland. Our aim is to build upon the long-standing customer relationships and trust that ABB and TÜV Rheinland have established in the UK over the last two decades.”
ABB’s technical engineering consultancy will be integrated into the Industrial Services and Cybersecurity business of TÜV Rheinland in the UK. The combined business will create a scalable, broad-based technical engineering provider delivering a full-service offer to the high hazard industries, supporting customers in the energy transition and energy security.
