Bosch Rexroth set to sell pneumatics group

Bosch Rexroth Pneumatics has been operating as a stand-alone business unit within Bosch Rexroth since June 2013. "Over the past years, we have acquired several companies whose technologies round out our portfolio and which tap additional growth opportunities. One example was the acquisition of Hägglunds, a specialist for high-performance drives," said Dr Karl Tragl, President of Bosch Rexroth. "On the other hand, we also disinvest areas that no longer fit with our strategy. For pneumatics, substantial differentiation and growth opportunities can be found outside the target industries on which we focus, such as medical engineering or heavy industries, the rail industry and in trucking."
