西门子同意收购Trayer工程公司，以扩大电网现代化产品组合

Siemens has announced its agreement to acquire California-based Trayer Engineering Corporation (Trayer), a leader in the design and manufacturing of medium voltage secondary distribution switchgear suitable for outdoor and below ground applications. 

西门子宣布已同意收购总部位于加利福尼亚的Trayer工程公司（Trayer），该公司是户外和地下应用的中压二次配电开关设备设计和制造的领导者。

Trayer specializes in hermetically sealed padmount and submersible switchgear, resistant to extreme weather conditions. The company will provide complementary technologies to the Electrification and Automation Business Unit at Siemens, to further support the market trend of undergrounding overhead electrical networks, increasing resilience of the North American distribution grids. Siemens, as a leading player in the Electrification and Automation industry, will increase the availability of Trayer’s leading submersible and padmount switchgear portfolio by its widespread presence in the market.  

Trayer专注于生产密封式垫装和潜水式开关设备，具有抵抗极端天气条件的能力。该公司将为西门子电气化和自动化业务部门提供互补技术，以进一步支持北美配电网地下化的市场趋势，增强北美配电网的弹性。作为电气化和自动化行业的领先企业，西门子将通过其在市场上的广泛布局，提高Trayer领先的潜水式和垫装开关设备组合的可用性。
 
“We see a significant growth opportunity in secondary power distribution, particularly in addressing the challenges posed by extreme weather conditions. By combining forces, we will provide an end-to-end portfolio to our customers by unlocking resources and competencies to serve this growing demand,” said Stephan May, CEO of Electrification and Automation at Siemens Smart Infrastructure. “Our digital offerings and Siemens Xcelerator portfolio, Electrification X, complements Trayer’s resilient solutions to enable utilities and municipalities to upgrade their distribution grids and drive grid efficiency for outdoor and below ground applications.”

西门子智能基础设施电气化和自动化首席执行官Stephan May表示：“我们看到二次配电领域有巨大的增长机会，特别是在应对极端天气条件带来的挑战方面。通过联合，我们将通过释放资源和能力来满足这一不断增长的需求，为客户提供端到端的产品组合。我们的数字产品和西门子 Xcelerator 产品 Electrification X 与特雷尔的弹性解决方案相辅相成，使公用事业公司和市政当局能够升级其配电网，并提高户外和地下应用的电网效率。”
 
Trayer has a long history in producing maintenance-free switchgear of the highest quality, designed to thrive in the most challenging circumstances. Its submersible distribution switchgear is perfectly suited for use in areas prone to flooding or extreme weather conditions, providing reliable electrical distribution while being protected from water and environmental damage. Whereas padmount switchgear is typically installed at ground level in residential, commercial, and industrial areas, offering easy access for safety inspections and operation while ensuring reliable, safe, and efficient electrical distribution for underground electrical grids.

Trayer在生产最高质量的免维护开关柜方面有着悠久的历史，其设计能够在最具挑战性的环境中茁壮成长。其潜水式配电开关柜非常适合在易发生洪水或极端天气条件的地区使用，在免受水和环境损害的同时提供可靠的电力分配。而箱式开关柜通常安装在住宅、商业和工业区域的地面水平，为安全检查和操作提供了便利，同时确保地下电网的可靠、安全和高效电力分配。

“By joining a 175+ year old, established industry leader, Trayer sees accelerated growth, investment, and employee opportunities,” said John Trayer, CEO, Trayer. “All of the employees at Trayer look forward to growing together, as Trayer offers a truly comprehensive solution to utility and municipal customers to help them harden and expand their electrical infrastructure.”
