Ralf Thomas, Chief Financial Officer of Siemens AG: “The exit from the joint venture with Valeo is another proof point of our consistent portfolio company strategy. We continue to find the best possible set up for our portfolio companies to deliver long-term value for all stakeholders.”
VSeA was founded in 2016 with Siemens contributing its eCar powertrain systems business including e-motors and power electronics. Valeo and Siemens have achieved the joint target of building a globally recognized leader in the field of electric mobility, now providing the right timing for Siemens to transfer its stake in VSeA to its partner. Single ownership has been an intended option of the joint venture for both sides from the beginning and will now support the future development of the business under the sole shareholding of Valeo going forward.
