SoftBank and ABB Consider Divesting Chinese Robotics Business After Beijing Blocks Acquisition
软银和ABB考虑剥离交易中国部分以挽救机器人协议
Following a ban by China's foreign investment security review mechanism on SoftBank's acquisition of ABB's robotics operations in the country, the two companies are exploring ways to divest that business. China is ABB's largest single market for robotics, accounting for roughly 30% of its related revenue. The deal, originally valued at $5.375 billion, required regulatory approval and was being led by SoftBank. ABB is now considering alternative options, including finding other buyers or restructuring the unit as an independent entity.
