The Poclain Group, designer and manufacturing hydrostatic and electrohydraulic transmissions, has announced it has acquired a controlling stake in MOTEG, a German company specializing in designing and making electric motors.
This strategic acquisition represents a milestone in Poclain’s ENGAGE 2025 roadmap. With MOTEG now embedded in Poclain’s ecosystem, the group will cement its technological capacity for designing and manufacturing the electro-mobility solutions of the future.
Following its 2022 acquisition of EMSISO, a specialist in inverters (electric motor controllers), and the launch of its first electro-hydraulic hybrid solutions, the group is in a position to step up the transition of the off-road vehicle transmission market toward 100% electric.
Poclain concluded the financing round alongside the family-owned German industrial group HN Holding and MOTEG’s founder, Dr Siegfried Götz. In joining Poclain, MOTEG will have access to the group’s international, commercial and industrial network.
Founded in 1927, Poclain has a workforce of 2,300 people employed on eight industrial sites and six research and development centers worldwide.
