Rüstung: Umbau zu Rüstungskonzern – Renk verkauft Gleitlagergeschäft
Der Getriebehersteller plant, sich künftig vollständig auf Rüstung zu konzentrieren. Für einen Geschäftsbereich hat Renk nun einen Käufer in Österreich gefunden. Weitere Bereiche sollen folgen.
German gearbox manufacturer Renk has found a buyer for its wheel bearing business, marking a significant step in its transformation into a pure weapons manufacturing conglomerate. The Austrian group Miba is set to purchase the segment, with the contract price estimated to range from the low to mid-millions. Renk announced the acquisition on Thursday in Augsburg, stating that they will now focus their efforts on the weapons industry, with 90 percent of their revenue coming from the Defense segment by 2030.
Since the selling segment will no longer be part of the core business starting from the fourth quarter, Renk has adjusted its forecast for the current fiscal year, projecting revenue of 1.4 billion euros from the ongoing business and an Ebit of 240 to 255 million euros after adjusting for one-time effects. Previously, Renk had projected a revenue of over 1.5 billion euros, with a target for the adjusted operating profit of between 255 and 285 million euros.
