林茨1月2日消息—通过收购位于美国马萨诸塞州Worcester的Morgan建筑公司，一家面向全球冶金工业提供优质轧机产品和服务的设计及制造商，西门子工业解决方案部(IS)将进一步巩固其在冶金技术领域的地位。在2006年，Morgan报告的销售额为1.8亿美元，在美国、中国、印度、英国和巴西各地大约有1,100名员工。西门子将收购Morgan建筑公司的100%股份，所有各方同意不披露收购价格。该交易正等待相关部门的批准。

Morgan Construction Company is acknowledged as a leader in rolling mill technology. Founded in 1888, Morgan Construction Company is worldwide supplier of wire rod rolling-mill equipment for the long-products industry today. Morgan has designed and installed more than 450 rod, bar, and billet mills in over 40 countries worldwide, setting benchmarks as a designer, manufacturer and service provider of high-speed rod, bar, combination mills and handling equipment for the steel and non-ferrous industries. The technology includes the patented Reducing/Sizing Mill, which enables products to be rolled faster, with closer tolerances and at lower costs.

Morgan建筑公司是一家在轧机技术领域公认的领导企业。Morgan建筑公司成立于1888年，如今已发展成为长材行业线材轧机设备的世界级供应商，在世界40多个国家设计并安装了超过450套的线材、棒材和钢坯轧机。作为一家钢铁和有色金属工业高速线材轧机、棒材轧机、联合轧机和处理设备的设计商、制造商和服务供应商，Morgan建筑公司取得了良好的业绩。该技术包括减/定径机专利技术，这能够以更快的速度、更严格的公差和更低的成本生产出轧材。

"With the acquisition of Morgan Construction we combine its competence in the sector of rolling mill equipment with our know-how in industrial automation,” said Dr. Richard Pfeiffer, CEO Siemens VAI Metal Technologies. “This step underscores our position as a trendsetter in rolling and processing solutions. We will improve our capabilities to offer integrated solutions by increasing the degree of standardization."

西门子VAI冶金技术公司首席执行官Richard Pfeiffer博士表示：“通过收购Morgan建筑公司，我们将其在轧机设备领域的雄厚实力同我们的工业自动化诀窍结合在一起。这一步加强了我们作为轧机和处理解决方案引领者的地位。通过进一步提高标准化程度，我们将会提升提供综合性解决方案的实力。”

Philip R. Morgan, President and CEO of Morgan, said: “The fit between our two companies is remarkably good. Morgan Construction is the acknowledged leader in the design and manufacture of wire rod mills and Siemens Metals Technologies has a very strong bar mill group. There are true synergies between the two companies, which strengthen the position of both in the flat product rolling mill area.” With Siemens, Morgan has access to the Siemens´ resources worldwide, which improves Morgan´s global market presence. “This will assure long-term stability for our manufacturing facilities and employees,” Morgan said.

Morgan公司的总裁兼首席执行官Philip R. Morgan表示：“我们两家公司具有很高的契合度。Morgan建筑公司是线材轧机设计和制造的公认领先企业，而西门子冶金技术公司具有很强的棒材轧机实力。两家公司之间真正是优势互补，这将加强双方在扁平材轧机技术领域的地位。加入西门子后，Morgan可以充分利用西门子的全球资源，有利于提高Morgan在国际市场的占有率。这将确保我们的制造厂和员工保持长期的稳定。”

Morgan Construction will be a division company of Siemens Industry Solutions under the responsibility of the IS Business Unit VAI Metals Technologies, headquartered in Linz/Austria.
