Zhilu Capital acquires Swiss sensor company Fuba from Siemens

On July 28, 2020, Siemens sold its core component manufacturing company Huba Control (hereinafter referred to as "Swiss Fuba") to Beijing Zhilu Capital as a whole, and completed the signing on the same day. According to the agreement, after the transaction is completed, Zhilu Capital will have the actual control of Fuba in Switzerland.

Founded in 1945, Fuba Switzerland has been committed to the research of pressure sensing technology for nearly 60 years. It is the largest manufacturer of pressure sensors in Europe. After its establishment, it launched -100kPa~60MPa pressure sensors to the market, including pressure transmitters, differential pressure transmitters, pressure switches, differential pressure switches, vacuum switches and other products, which are widely used in water conservancy and hydropower, railway transportation and other products. , intelligent buildings, production automation, aerospace and other industrial automation environments.

Zhilu Capital is one of the core enterprises of the Ronshine Industry Alliance. It has successfully participated in or invested in several overseas projects before, and has completed many overseas mergers and acquisitions and joint venture projects with multinational companies such as NXP, Qualcomm, and Austrian Semiconductor.

At present, China's pressure sensors basically rely on imports, and they are mainly products from American giants such as Honeywell, General Electric, and Sensata. There is an urgent need for domestic import substitution. Industry experts believe that this cross-border acquisition will bring China's manufacturing technology to complement the shortcomings and bring more possibilities for the development of the industry.
