Under the agreement Siemens has taken over the fully owned Semikron subsidiary VePOINT, which has 30 highly qualified employees based in Nuremberg. The two companies have agreed to keep the purchase price confidential.<\/p>\n<p>VePOINT develops innovative power electronic components and systems, based on Semikron SKiN technology, specifically for the hybrid and electric vehicle market. These solutions complement the Siemens range of products by adding systems with attractive power densities and power\/weight ratios for automobile applications. With the acquisition of VePOINT and the associated widening of its power electronics portfolio, Siemens Drive Technologies is pushing ahead with the further expansion of its Inside e-Car Business Unit. The cooperation agreement between Siemens and Semikron will also see a continuation of the existing close collaboration of the two companies in the field of innovative power modules.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_8369\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"width: 700px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-8369\" alt=\"Photo by Siemens AG\" src=\"http:\/\/www.expo21xx.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/SIEMENS_300dpi-700x505.jpg\" width=\"700\" height=\"505\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.expo21xx.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/SIEMENS_300dpi-700x505.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.expo21xx.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/SIEMENS_300dpi-144x104.jpg 144w, https:\/\/www.expo21xx.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/SIEMENS_300dpi-350x252.jpg 350w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\"><i>Photo by Siemens AG<\/i><\/p><\/div>\n<p>J\u00f6rg Grotendorst, CEO of the Siemens Inside e-Car Business Unit, said, &#8220;The cooperation with Semikron and the acquisition of VePOINT are important milestones for us on our way toward achieving a high degree of integration in the entire drive train.
