MHP: Porsche verkauft Beratungstochter an Tata Consultancy Services
Der Abschluss wird in den kommenden Monaten erwartet. Parallel planen die beiden Firmen eine strategische Zusammenarbeit bei digitalen Lösungen und Künstlicher Intelligenz.
Frankfurt - German car manufacturer Porsche has sold its management and IT consulting subsidiary, MHP, to Indian IT services company Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), the Stuttgart-based company announced on Monday. The agreement between the two firms was detailed in a contract, with the transaction expected to be finalized over the coming months.
The financial specifics of the deal have not been disclosed yet. Porsche is pursuing this sale as part of its "Sportwagenschmiede35" strategy, aiming to focus more on its core automotive business. Consequently, Porsche has already divested its battery cell production, a software firm, and an e-bike business.
In parallel to the sale, Porsche and TCS plan to collaborate strategically on digital solutions and Artificial Intelligence (AI). MHP will maintain its status as an independent brand and consulting firm within the Tata group structure. Speaking about the deal, Porsche CEO Michael Leiters highlighted that the combination of Porsche's automotive expertise with TCS's technology and AI capabilities will bolster innovation.
MHP, headquartered in Ludwigsburg, near Stuttgart, employs over 4,500 people worldwide and has been advising businesses on IT transformations, particularly in the automotive and manufacturing sectors, for more than three decades. The new owner, TCS, is part of the Indian Tata group and provides IT services and consulting across 55 countries.
