SKF completes previously announced divestment of its ring and seal operation in Hanover, USA

SKF

Gothenburg, 14 April 2025: SKF has completed the previously announced divestment of its ring and seal operation in Hanover, Pennsylvania, USA, to Carco PRP Group for a total enterprise value of USD 215 million, corresponding to approximately SEK 2.1 billion. The divestment will result in a capital gain amounting to approximately SEK 0.8 billion in Q2 and will be reported as Items affecting comparability.

"We are committed to create a more focused and resilient SKF to serve our customers even better and to accelerate profitable growth. Divesting this successful but non-core business at accretive multiples is an important part of this. At the same time, we continue to invest and strengthen our position in core Aerospace segments", says Rickard Gustafson, President and CEO.

Aerospace will remain a large, strategic segment also after the divestment with a share of industrial sales corresponding to approximately 9 percent. Investments in strengthening core aeroengine and structure bearing offerings remain a priority for SKF.

The Hanover divestment is in line with SKF's strategic review of its aerospace business, communicated on 27 October 2023, to focus on core aerospace business and to exit areas that are non-strategic. As previously announced, the Group is exploring options to exit the precision elastomeric device (PED) aerospace operation in Elgin, Illinois, USA, also identified as non-strategic but smaller than Hanover.
