Engine builder to become central pillar of Langley\u2019s net zero strategy<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Langley Holdings has completed the acquisition of the Norwegian Bergen Engines group from Rolls-Royce for a consideration of \u20ac91 million. In addition, \u20ac16 million of cash held within Bergen Engines AS, has been retained by Rolls-Royce.<\/p>\n

Completion of the transaction, which was announced on 3rd August 2021<\/a>, follows the conclusion of work to separate the business from the Rolls-Royce group.<\/p>\n

As of 31st December, 2021, Langley formally acquired Bergen Engines AS as a stand-alone group including its engine factory, service workshop and foundry in Norway; engine and power plant design capability; its global service network and subsidiaries in nine countries.<\/p>\n

In 2021, Bergen Engines generated revenues of approximately \u20ac250 million with the assets and liabilities of the business presented as held for sale in the Rolls-Royce Holdings plc consolidated balance sheet.<\/p>\n

The Bergen Engines group employs almost 950 people worldwide, of which more than 600 are based at its headquarters and production facilities near Bergen, in Norway.<\/p>\n

Going forward, Bergen Engines will be operated as a stand-alone business unit focused \u2013 in addition to its traditional markets \u2013 on the rapidly developing microgrid power generation sector, an area central to Langley\u2019s net zero strategy.<\/p>\n

Bergen is to become the core of a newly formed Power Solutions Division<\/a>, working closely with the group\u2019s Italian Marelli Motori<\/a> and German Piller Power Systems<\/a> subsidiaries.<\/p>\n

Chairman & CEO, Mr Tony Langley:<\/p>\n

\u201cThe acquisition of Bergen Engines is a major step towards our net zero objectives. The company has a superb reputation and is proving to be highly innovative in adapting its engines to low-carbon and non-fossil fuels. Coupled with that, the emerging microgrid sector fits perfectly to our long-term sustainability goals.\u201d He said.<\/p>\n

Visiting Bergen Engines last October,<\/a> Langley gave the go-ahead to a \u20ac4 million research project to be funded jointly with the Norwegian government. The AMAZE (Ammonia Zero Emissions) project is developing the use of ammonia as an alternative fuel for ship\u2019s engines.<\/p>\n

The Power Solutions Division is expected to generate around \u20ac600 million of Langley\u2019s anticipated \u20ac1.3 billion revenues in 2022. The Division employs around 2,400 of the group\u2019s 5,600 total global workforce.<\/p>\n
