Marquard & Bahls AG acquires minority interest in BRUSA ICS AG on April 16, 2021. This is an important step for Marquard & Bahls in further developing its existing portfolio towards sustainable and innovative energy solutions. BRUSA Elektronik AG is a leading development service provider for all electronic and mechanical components of the e-powertrain. Since its establishment in 1985, BRUSA has played a key role in shaping the global breakthrough of electromobility. BRUSA Elektronik AG proved its position as a technology leader in electromobility when it began serial production of the world’s first inductive charging system for a German premium customer. With a view to further developing and advancing its ICS technology in a focused manner, all of BRUSA Elektronik AG’s previous ICS activities were combined in BRUSA ICS AG in 2020. Marquard & Bahls sees great potential in this innovative ICS technology and has therefore acquired an initial minority stake in BRUSA ICS AG. Both parties have agreed not to disclose details of the transaction. Mark Garrett, CEO of Marquard & Bahls, commented: “As part of our strategy, we want to further diversify our portfolio and, among other things, get involved in the rapidly growing field of electromobility.
