Siemens seeks clearance to combine Siemens’ rail mobility business with Alstom

26 October 2018

The Commerce Commission has received a clearance application from Siemens A.G. to combine its rail mobility business with Alstom S.A.

The proposed merger is global and relates to the rail mobility industry, which involves the supply of a wide range of rail products and project services including rolling stock and signalling systems. The merger is being considered by a number of other jurisdictions including Australia and the European Union.

In New Zealand, Siemens Mobility supplies rail signalling projects and products largely through its New Zealand subsidiary, Siemens (N.Z.) Limited.

Alstom’s activities in New Zealand include the supply of point machines, which allow trains to change from one track to another.

A public version of the clearance application will be available shortly on the Commission’s case register.
