Wärtsilä Sam Electronics acquired by Vinci Energies

VINCI Energies, through its Actemium brand, has signed an agreement to acquire Wärtsilä SAM Electronics GmbH from the Finnish-based Wärtsilä Corporation. This transaction is part of VINCI's strategy to bolster its industry services and increase its presence in the German defense market, while expanding its expertise in electrical systems and automation for naval applications. The acquisition will integrate approximately 350 specialized employees and around €100 million in annual revenue. Wärtsilä SAM Electronics' capabilities will complement Actemium's industrial activities by bringing expertise in electrical system integration, automation, and embedded technologies for military vessels and shipyards. This synergy is expected to enable VINCI Energies to broaden its offering to industrial and institutional clients, while consolidating its position in a market that is experiencing increased investment in European defense infrastructure. Upon completion, the acquisition will strengthen VINCI Energies' presence in Germany, the group's second-largest international market, where it already has significant operations in infrastructure, industry, building solutions, information and communication technology, energy services, and concessions.

By taking control of Wärtsilä Sam Electronics, Vinci Energies continues its expansion strategy. Previously, the group had completed 3 acquisitions, including R+S Group in 2024.
