西門子同意收購Trayer工程公司，以擴(kuò)大電網(wǎng)現(xiàn)代化產(chǎn)品組合

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.

西門子宣布已同意收購總部位于加利福尼亞的Trayer工程公司（Trayer），該公司是戶外和地下應(yīng)用的中壓二次配電開關(guān)設(shè)備設(shè)計和制造的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)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專注于生產(chǎn)密封式墊裝和潛水式開關(guān)設(shè)備，具有抵抗極端天氣條件的能力。該公司將為西門子電氣化和自動化業(yè)務(wù)部門提供互補(bǔ)技術(shù)，以進(jìn)一步支持北美配電網(wǎng)地下化的市場趨勢，增強(qiáng)北美配電網(wǎng)的彈性。作為電氣化和自動化行業(yè)的領(lǐng)先企業(yè)，西門子將通過其在市場上的廣泛布局，提高Trayer領(lǐng)先的潛水式和墊裝開關(guān)設(shè)備組合的可用性。
 
“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.”

西門子智能基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施電氣化和自動化首席執(zhí)行官Stephan May表示：“我們看到二次配電領(lǐng)域有巨大的增長機(jī)會，特別是在應(yīng)對極端天氣條件帶來的挑戰(zhàn)方面。通過聯(lián)合，我們將通過釋放資源和能力來滿足這一不斷增長的需求，為客戶提供端到端的產(chǎn)品組合。我們的數(shù)字產(chǎn)品和西門子 Xcelerator 產(chǎn)品 Electrification X 與特雷爾的彈性解決方案相輔相成，使公用事業(yè)公司和市政當(dāng)局能夠升級其配電網(wǎng)，并提高戶外和地下應(yīng)用的電網(wǎng)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在生產(chǎn)最高質(zhì)量的免維護(hù)開關(guān)柜方面有著悠久的歷史，其設(shè)計能夠在最具挑戰(zhàn)性的環(huán)境中茁壯成長。其潛水式配電開關(guān)柜非常適合在易發(fā)生洪水或極端天氣條件的地區(qū)使用，在免受水和環(huán)境損害的同時提供可靠的電力分配。而箱式開關(guān)柜通常安裝在住宅、商業(yè)和工業(yè)區(qū)域的地面水平，為安全檢查和操作提供了便利，同時確保地下電網(wǎng)的可靠、安全和高效電力分配。

“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.”

Trayer首席執(zhí)行官John Trayer表示：“加入一家擁有175年歷史的成熟行業(yè)領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者，Trayer將實現(xiàn)加速增長、投資和員工機(jī)會。Trayer的所有員工都期待著共同成長，因為Trayer為公用事業(yè)和市政客戶提供了真正全面的解決方案，幫助他們加強(qiáng)和擴(kuò)展其電力基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施。”
