Munich, 21 April 2022 - A vehicle owned and managed by Mutares SE & Co.

This acquisition will strengthen the Engineering & Technology segment as a new platform investment. The closing of the transaction is expected by the end of the third quarter of 2022 and is subject to fulfilment of customary conditions and approvals.

Siemens Energy Engines is a manufacturer of gas and diesel engines designed for power generation, cogeneration, waste-to-energy and marine uses. The engine business is headquartered in the Basque Country, Spain and employs around 270 people worldwide offering a best-in-class product portfolio with two complementary engine platforms, serving customers all over the world.

The shift to reduce greenhouse gas emissions will increase the need for flexible power generation and we see Siemens Energy Engines with a few operational and strategic improvements well positioned to profit from this movement," comments Johannes Laumann, CIO of Mutares.
