Public Statement by ruhlamat GmbH on the Sale of ruhlamat Automation Technologies (Suzhou) Co. Ltd. (RCS Group)

ruhlamat GmbH is pleased to announce that on March 31, 2025, it has completed the sale of ruhlamat Automation Technologies (Suzhou) Co. Ltd. and its subsidiaries and affiliated companies (also known as RCS Group) to Centurium, a leading international private equity investment firm with a long-term commitment. This significant milestone offers numerous advantages for both RCS Group and ruhlamat GmbH.

The RCS Group, a leading provider of intelligent manufacturing solutions, has been a successful player in the Chinese market and has grown into an international business in recent years. We believe that with Centurium's international resources and experience, the RCS Group will further expand its global influence and become a trusted partner for its customers worldwide.

As part of the sale, ruhlamat GmbH has transferred all trademarks related to the RCS Group's business, including ‘ruhlamat’, ‘儒拉玛特’, ‘ruhla’, and ‘ruhlaSmart’, to Centurium. We have a two-year transition period from the date of the sale to rebrand ruhlamat GmbH’s remaining business to avoid market confusion. During this time, we can still use these trademarks with certain limitations and will develop an independent identity that reflects the future direction and focus of ruhlamat GmbH's products and services.

The sale of the RCS Group also opens up new opportunities for ruhlamat GmbH. After the sale, we will further develop our portfolio in a targeted manner and drive innovation forward to continue offering our customers the best solutions. The freed-up resources will enable us to tap into emerging areas and explore new growth opportunities.

We would like to thank our customers, partners, and employees for their trust and support. We also extend our gratitude to everyone involved for their contributions to this successful transition. We look forward to writing the next chapters of our success stories together with our customers and partners.
