Siemens Energy is advancing the legal and operational separation of its ‘Transformation of Industry’ (ToI) division, which is expected to operate under the new brand name Omterra. The division, comprising steam turbines, compressors, and hydrogen electrolyzers, employs approximately 17,000 people. While the 2025 fiscal year reported roughly €5.7 billion in revenue with an 11.3 percent profit margin, more recent data indicates the unit generates approximately $6.2 billion in annual revenue.

To facilitate the transition, Siemens Energy has engaged Goldman Sachs to advise on a potential sale of a majority stake. The company intends to de-consolidate the unit while retaining a meaningful minority stake, exploring structures such as capital market transactions or the introduction of external investors. The potential carve-out has attracted interest from several private equity firms, including CVC Capital Partners, EQT, Bain Capital, Brookfield, and KKR. Analysts have estimated the division’s value could exceed €10 billion.

The restructuring follows pressure from institutional investors regarding financial transparency and the division’s performance compared to other power businesses. CEO Christian Bruch stated the move allows the company to prioritize investments in power generation, electricity transmission, and grid technology—sectors seeing rising demand from infrastructure needs like artificial intelligence data centers. Service work currently accounts for roughly half of the division's turnover.
