Wärtsilä to sell Marine Electrical Systems business to VINCI Energies

Wärtsilä reports that it has agreed a deal to divest its Marine Electrical Systems business to VINCI Energies, as part of an ongoing strategy to streamline operations within its Portfolio Business division.

The business, which includes Wärtsilä SAM Electronics GmbH and related project assets in Brazil, recorded annual revenues of €100 million in 2024.

The Marine Electrical Systems unit specialises in the integration of onboard electrical systems, combining Wärtsilä and yard-supplied equipment into unified vessel networks.

VINCI Energies, a provider of multi-technical services for infrastructure and industry, is expected to complete the acquisition in the last quarter of 2025, subject to regulatory approvals.

“This agreement is yet another proof point of our Portfolio Business divestment strategy coming to life,” said Bernd Bertram, Head of Portfolio Business at Wärtsilä.

“VINCI Energies has deep expertise in complex project-based business and therefore is an ideal match for Marine Electrical Systems.”
