SKF divests non-core aerospace operation for USD 220 million
"I'm pleased that we have been able to deliver on our prior promises and successfully reached an agreement to divest this successful but non-core business at accretive multiples. With a new owner, I'm confident that Hanover will continue to provide customers with top quality solutions. Aerospace will remain one of our largest customer industries and we will continue to invest and strengthen our position in core Aerospace segments", says Rickard Gustafson , President and CEO.
SKF will continue to focus its aerospace business around high growth core areas related to aeroengine and aerostructure bearing offers, representing annual sales of approximately SEK 6 billion . The customer offering in these core areas will be further strengthened through investments in product development, customer service and state of the art manufacturing.
As previously announced, SKF is exploring options to exit the precision elastomeric device (PED) aerospace operation in Elgin, Illinois , USA. The PED business is also non-strategic but smaller than Hanover and the exit process is proceeding according to plan.
The Hanover divestment is expected to close during the first quarter of 2025, subject to authorities' approval.
