Business Overview

-The Company is a leading international systems supplier for the security and defense industry. Prior to the Company’s planned divestiture of its Power Systems division in June 2026, the Company also provided system and components for the automotive industry.

-During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, the Company was organized into the following divisions: Vehicle Systems Europe, Vehicle Systems International, Weapon and Ammunition, Electronic Solutions, and Power Systems. As of December 17, 2025, the activities of the Power Systems division were classified as discontinued operations following the Company's decision to divest the division and exit the automotive supplier business.

-The Power Systems division was the Company’s only division directly related to the automotive industry. The division consisted of the following business units:

  • Air Management
  • Thermal Management
  • Electrification and Digitization
  • Castings
  • Bearings
  • Trade
  • Hydrogen Technology
  • Invent
     

Divestiture of Power Systems division

-In 2025, the Company informed workers at its Pierburg subsidiary of plans to sell its entire Power Systems division. The division includes 50 sites worldwide, with 410 employees in Italy across 3 plants: Lanciano, Livorno, and Turin. The sale comes amid significant challenges in the European and Italian automotive sector and reflects the Company’s strategic shift to operate solely in the military and defense sectors. (From FIOM-CGIL union press release dated September 5, 2025)

-In June 2026, the Company signed an agreement to sell its Power Systems division to the Munich-based industrial group AEQUITA for EUR 350 million. The transaction is expected to be completed in Q4 2026. The agreement covers the global workforce of 6,250 employees , but excludes the three German locations of KS Huayu AluTech GmbH (Neckarsulm, Walldurn, and Langenhagen), Dermalog SensorTec GmbH, and Pierburg S.A.’s Abadiano plant in Spain. KS Huayu AluTech will remain a joint venture within the Company in the medium term. Dermalog SensorTec will be integrated into the Company’s Weapon and Ammunition division, with its employees remaining at the Neuss location. The Abadiano plant will operate as a hybrid site during a transitional period, manufacturing both civilian and military products until the switch to military production is complete. AEQUITA will operate the former Power Systems division as an independent entity. The business will continue to operate under its Pierburg, Kolbenschmidt, and Motorservice brands, with trademark rights remaining within the divested company.
