broad product portfolio to help you through each step of the mining process – safely and reliably Paris, FRANCE, and Stuttgart, GERMANY — December 15, 2022 — To continue operating the power grid safely and reliably in the future, GE Renewable Energy’s Grid Solutions business (NYSE: GE) and the transmission system operator TransnetBW have signed a contract for a turnkey solution to redesign the Pulverdingen 380 kV substation in the vicinity of Markgröningen The Pulverdingen substation needs to be redesigned for larger capacities and greater power fluctuations the substation’s almost 50-year-old switchgear will be upgraded and expanded during operation To support TransnetBW’s priorities to ramp up capacity supply and commission 26 bays of 380 kV air-insulated switchgear (AIS) with associated buildings and control cabinets Also in the plan is a 380 kV cable connection between the 380 kV/220 kV transformer and respective 380 kV switch panel The overhead line connection to the substation will be executed in three phases The erection of temporary overhead lines for several years is required in some cases to ensure safe operation of the switchgear during the construction period The construction work is expected to take one decade This contract for a turnkey solution aligns with GE’s commitment to provide scalable power solutions to its customers that support the transformation of their electricity grids The upgrade and expansion of the Pulverdingen substation will significantly improve short-circuit resistance "The Pulverdingen substation will strengthen the security of power supply in the Stuttgart area in the long term," said Christopher Kunstmann “TransnetBW’s expansion plans for Germany’s electricity grid will provide a better network resiliency and power supply security in this region,” said Philippe Piron CEO of GE Grid Solutions and Power Conversion this agreement represents not only our deep commitment to support TransnetBW in Germany but constitutes the example of the long-term partnerships GE Grid Solutions wants to adopt with key European customers implementing key regional infrastructure to deliver reliable stable and efficient energy transmission.” GE Grid Solutions provides complete, engineered solutions for high voltage (HV) substations to power generation companies bringing together the right mix of high-voltage products

India Home > Sectors > Global competitor SIC Marking acquires Nill+Ritz The portfolios of the two companies complement each other perfectly the SIC Marking Group has taken over the German company Nill + Ritz CNCTechnik GmbH and is expanding its range of marking systems for all industrial applications The portfolios of the two companies complement each other perfectly – and the German SIC Marking GmbH is thus strengthening its presence in Germany From simple manual marking to automatic dot peen marking and individual marking with high-performance laser marking systems has made a name for itself worldwide when it comes to product marking as well as data-supported product identification and tracking in the automotive The focus is on high-quality marking systems which can be ordered as standard systems or customised Around 450 employees work in the entire group In this context the “perfect fit” resulting from the recent takeover of Nill + Ritz CNC-Technik GmbH in Markgröningen near Stuttgart has about 25 employees who design highly individualised marking stations and supply them to well-known customers in the industry Managing Director of SIC Marking GmbH in Germany and new Managing Director of Nill + Ritz said “With the takeover of Nill + Ritz we are supplementing our product range with advanced customised marking solutions based on dot peen scribing and laser technologies.” In most N+R systems the components are supplied and positioned automatically An immediate inline evaluation of the marking process It is planned that Nill + Ritz will retain both the name and the headquarter in Markgröningen Michael Endemann: “The company is well known it has a very good reputation and highly qualified employees We would be bad advised to change the name or the location There is a very high potential for synergies for both German companies Our sales department now has advanced customised marking systems in its portfolio and Nill + Ritz will benefit from our worldwide sales and service presence.” What will also change is the market position of both companies: “Together we are now the largest supplier of marking systems in our product area in Germany with an order intake of 15 million euros,” added Michael
