THE DEAL
China's Shanghai Electric Group made two acquisitions in Germany in 2016. Shanghai Electric Group acquired a 100-percent stake in German aviation equipment manufacturer Broetje-Automation GmbH in 2016. The acquisition will expand SEGCL’s international presence as well as help it capture a share of the fast-growing domestic aviation market, by having Broetje as a major supplier to the large aircraft manufacturers. Shanghai Electric Group also invested in the German equipment supplier Manz. Shanghai Electric has become one of the company’s major investors and will support Manz in developing advanced technologies in the areas of energy storage, electronics and solar power. Both transactions are momentous for Chinese investments into Germany.
