• 柯馬今天宣布，已與 Trasma S.r.l.（“Trasma”）達(dá)成一項(xiàng)具有約束力的協(xié)議，根據(jù)該協(xié)議，柯馬將獲得 Automha S.p.A.（“Automha”）及其全球子公司的全部所有權(quán)
• 此次柯馬的戰(zhàn)略投資是建立前瞻性意大利自動化中心的又進(jìn)一步，并將撬動兩個品牌之間的強(qiáng)大協(xié)同效應(yīng)，為全球各自分化市場的客戶和投資者創(chuàng)造價(jià)值
• Automha 在收購后增強(qiáng)增長前景的同時(shí)，將繼續(xù)以相同的組織、管理和戰(zhàn)略愿景運(yùn)營

都靈, 紐約, 貝加莫 - 2025 年 4 月 16 日 - 柯馬簽署了一項(xiàng)具有約束力的協(xié)議，收購 Automha，這是一家從事倉儲和內(nèi)部物流自動化行業(yè)的意大利公司，由 Trasma 所有。這次交易取決于此類交易的慣例先決條件，包括必要的監(jiān)管批準(zhǔn)，預(yù)計(jì)將于 2025 年第二季度完成。根據(jù)協(xié)議條款，柯馬將收購 Automha 100% 的股份，為快速增長的倉儲和物流領(lǐng)域的新機(jī)會鋪平道路，并為創(chuàng)建旨在多元市場進(jìn)行創(chuàng)新和競爭的前瞻性意大利工業(yè)自動化中心邁出了前進(jìn)的一步。

為確保業(yè)務(wù)連續(xù)性，Automha 將繼續(xù)堅(jiān)持以人為本、質(zhì)量為先、創(chuàng)新驅(qū)動的發(fā)展理念，保持現(xiàn)有的組織架構(gòu)與管理戰(zhàn)略不變。Franco Togni 將繼續(xù)擔(dān)任首席執(zhí)行官，Gianni Togni 和 Roberta Togni 除繼續(xù)履行當(dāng)前職責(zé)外，也將加入柯馬執(zhí)行委員會，攜手推動兩家公司的協(xié)同發(fā)展。

這項(xiàng)具有約束力的協(xié)議契合柯馬近期股權(quán)結(jié)構(gòu)調(diào)整后的全新戰(zhàn)略定位。隨著國際私募股權(quán)公司 One Equity Partners 成為主要股東，柯馬已正式邁入獨(dú)立運(yùn)營的新階段。此次收購不僅再次鞏固并強(qiáng)化了柯馬在意大利的本土根基與運(yùn)營能力，也進(jìn)一步拓展了其全球服務(wù)版圖與國際影響力。相應(yīng)地，Automha 將能夠通過利用增強(qiáng)的地理版圖布局和內(nèi)部技術(shù)能力來擴(kuò)大和進(jìn)一步發(fā)展其業(yè)務(wù)。此外，鑒于柯馬和 Automha 的業(yè)務(wù)互補(bǔ)性，這次整合將加強(qiáng)相互的項(xiàng)目品類組合。

柯馬首席執(zhí)行官 Pietro Gorlier 表示：“正如我們成為一家獨(dú)立公司并在交易完成后立即實(shí)施時(shí)所定義的那樣，通過收購 Automha 等創(chuàng)新公司來擴(kuò)大我們的業(yè)務(wù)范圍、專業(yè)知識和技術(shù)組合是柯馬增長戰(zhàn)略的關(guān)鍵一步。除了利用倉儲和內(nèi)部物流市場的強(qiáng)勁增長潛力外，Automha 與柯馬的整合將使我們能夠利用我們綜合的專業(yè)知識和資源，加速全球廣泛工業(yè)領(lǐng)域的創(chuàng)新和增長。”

“在柯馬，我們找到了一個與我們有著共同價(jià)值觀的合作伙伴，即質(zhì)量、創(chuàng)新和對客戶成功的承諾，”Automha 創(chuàng)始人 Franco Togni 補(bǔ)充道，“這個新的篇章不僅代表了 Automha 的成長時(shí)刻，也是始于 1979 年的旅程的延續(xù)。我對未來充滿期待，因?yàn)槲抑琅c柯馬一起，我們將繼續(xù)追求卓越，擴(kuò)大我們的全球影響力，并達(dá)到適當(dāng)?shù)囊?guī)模以便在競爭力和項(xiàng)目規(guī)模不斷提高的市場中保持領(lǐng)先地位。”

Press Release

Comau Enters into a Binding Agreement to Acquire Automha

• Comau announced today that it has entered into a binding agreement with Trasma S.r.l. (“Trasma”) under which Comau will acquire full ownership of Automha S.p.A. (“Automha”) and its subsidiaries globally
• The strategic investment by Comau is a further step in building a forward-focused Italian automation Hub and will leverage the strong synergies between the two brands to create value for customers and shareholders in different markets around the world
• Automha will continue to operate post-acquisition with the same structure, management and strategic vision in addition to enhanced growth prospects

Grugliasco (Turin), New York, Bergamo - April 3, 2025 – Comau has signed a binding agreement for the acquisition of Automha, an Italian company operating in the warehousing and intralogistics automation industry, owned by Trasma S.r.l. The closing of the transaction is subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions precedent in transactions of this type, including necessary regulatory approvals, and is expected to occur in the second quarter of 2025. Under the terms of the agreement Comau will acquire 100% of Automha shares, paving the way for new opportunities within the rapidly growing warehousing and logistics sector and establishing a further step toward the creation of a forward-focused Italian industrial automation hub able to innovate and compete in multiple markets.

To ensure business continuity, Automha will continue to operate with the same structure, management and strategic vision, keeping people, quality and innovation at its core. Franco Togni will retain his position as CEO while Gianni Togni and Roberta Togni, in addition to continuing in their current roles, will join the Comau Executive Committee to contribute to the ongoing development of both companies.

This binding agreement is coherent with the strategy behind the recent change in Comau’s shareholder structure - whose majority share is now held by One Equity Partners, an international private equity firm - which has allowed Comau to become a standalone company. With this acquisition Comau reconfirms and strengthens its Italian roots and operations, while enhancing its global offer and international presence. In parallel, Automha will be able to scale-up and further develop its business by leveraging an enhanced geographical footprint and in-house technology competencies. Furthermore, given that Comau and Automha are fully complementary, the relationship will strengthen the mutual portfolio of projects.

“Expanding our reach, know-how and technology portfolio through the acquisition of innovative companies such as Automha is a crucial step in Comau’s growth strategy, as defined when we became a stand-alone company and implemented immediately after the closing phase,” said Pietro Gorlier, CEO of Comau. “In addition to capitalizing on the strong growth potential of warehousing and intralogistics markets, the integration of Automha within Comau will allow us to leverage our combined expertise and resources, to accelerate innovation and growth across a wide range of global industrial sectors.”

“When we invested in Comau, we saw a clear path forward to help the company expand strategically and gain scale. M&A is a main driver for this, and we identified warehouse, logistics and handling automation systems as a significant opportunity for this business,” said Ante Kusurin, Partner at One Equity Partners. “The acquisition of Automha is a move toward diversification of Comau’s operations and further taps the company into industrial automation trends improving productivity across many industries. We are excited for the opportunity ahead of us as these two complementary companies join forces.”

“In Comau we have found a partner who shares our values of quality, innovation, and commitment to customer success,” added Franco Togni, Founder of Automha. “This new chapter represents not only a moment of growth for Automha but also a continuation of the journey that began in 1979. I look forward to the future that lies ahead, knowing that together with Comau, we will continue to build excellence, expand our global impact and to reach a proper size to keep a leading position in a market that is increasing competitiveness and project dimensions.”
