8月17日消息——GE和FANUC今天宣布兩家公司已同意解除合資企業(yè)GE FANUC自動(dòng)化公司。該協(xié)議將使這兩家公司得以重新專注于促進(jìn)現(xiàn)有業(yè)務(wù)增長(zhǎng)的投資，繼續(xù)發(fā)展各自核心工業(yè)技術(shù)。在滿足常規(guī)成交條件的前提下，雙方預(yù)計(jì)對(duì)合資公司的拆分將在2009年年底前完成。

Established in 1986 by the joint investments of GE and FANUC, GE Fanuc Automation Corporation grew to become a leading high-performance technology company that serves a vast array of industries around the world including the energy, water, consumer packaged goods, government & defense, and ecommunications industries. The partnership delivers hardware and software solutions, services, automation and embedded computing systems; as well as industry-leading CNC products.

FANUC Honorary Chairman Dr. Seiuemon Inaba said, “Our joint venture has achieved great success toward its original mission, which was to cooperate on the global growth and technical development of the PLC and CNC business. Over this time period, markets and opportunities also have changed dramatically, and both companies further expanded into adjacent segments. Today’s market conditions are such that it’s imperative we pursue these expanded opportunities, and while we have achieved great things together, it’s in both our best interests that we focus our efforts on industry opportunities unique to our respective companies and that will deliver greater benefits to both our companies.”

FANUC名譽(yù)主席Seiuemon Inaba博士表示，“我們的合資企業(yè)自成立以來(lái)，在增長(zhǎng)合作以及PLC和CNC業(yè)務(wù)的技術(shù)開(kāi)發(fā)上取得了巨大的成功。這些年來(lái)，市場(chǎng)形勢(shì)和機(jī)會(huì)均發(fā)生了極大的變化，我們兩家公司也各自在關(guān)聯(lián)的領(lǐng)域進(jìn)行了業(yè)務(wù)拓展。在當(dāng)今市場(chǎng)形勢(shì)下，我們還必須抓住這些業(yè)務(wù)拓展的機(jī)遇。雖然我們?cè)餐献魅〉昧司薮蟮某删?，但基于雙方的*利益，我們必須集中精力抓住各自*的行業(yè)機(jī)遇，也必將為雙方帶來(lái)更大的收益。”

GE Fanuc Inligent Platforms CEO Maryrose Sylvester said, "GE could not have asked for better partners than Dr. Inaba and FANUC. GE is proud of what our companies have achieved together - both the industry expertise and success across our product portfolios. For GE, this change will mean a continued, intense focus on serving our customers around the world while continuing to invest in significant growth platforms like process control systems, enterprise and automation software and embedded computing as we continue to build further expertise around the GE vertical infrastructure segments."

GE FANUC智能平臺(tái)執(zhí)行官 Maryrose Sylvester表示，“Inaba博士和FANUC是GE合作過(guò)的*伙伴。GE為我們雙方共同取得的成就而深感自豪 — 不論是行業(yè)技術(shù)，還是在全線產(chǎn)品上所取得的成功。對(duì)GE來(lái)說(shuō)，這次改變將使我們繼續(xù)高度專注于服務(wù)范圍內(nèi)的客戶，此外，我們?cè)贕E垂直基礎(chǔ)結(jié)構(gòu)部門中繼續(xù)提升專業(yè)技術(shù)的同時(shí)，也將繼續(xù)加強(qiáng)在過(guò)程控制系統(tǒng)、企業(yè)和自動(dòng)化軟件以及嵌入式計(jì)算等重要增長(zhǎng)平臺(tái)的投資。“
