Tognum AG is the name of a German industrial concern, which holds interests in a number of engine manufacturing brands and facilities, jointly owned by Daimler AG and Rolls-Royce plc.
History
Tognum AG was formed when private equity fund EQT IV acquired in late 2005 several Off-Highway divisions of DaimlerChrysler. All units are to assume the corporate brand, but will otherwise operate independently.[2]
The company went public on 2 July 2007, listed in the Prime Standard segment of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange. EQT retained a minority share of 22.3% until April 2008, when it was sold to Daimler AG.[3]
In March 2011, Rolls-Royce plc and Daimler AG launched a takeover for Tognum.[4] The two companies announced on 24 June 2011 that their joint €3.4 billion tender offer had been successful, with 94% of Tognum shareholders accepting.[5] Once the acquisition was complete, Tognum is run as a 50-50 joint venture, with Rolls-Royce merging its Bergen Marine diesel engines unit into the operation.[6]
In July 2011, Tognum indicated that they would move their North American headquarters (formally MTU Detroit Diesel) and their current 200+ employees to a new facility in the United States in Novi, Michigan.
