德国政府：美的收购库卡，不超过49%股份就行 - 美的,库卡 - IT资讯
为了将库卡公司（Kuka Ag，KU2.XE）的核心技术留在欧洲，德国继续在寻找欧洲投资者来收购这家德国机器人公司的股权。
美的集团要想完成收购德国机器人巨头库卡（KUKA）公司可能还要继续等待一段时间。为了让机器人技术留在德国，德国的政府官员已经多次发声，称会积极寻求欧洲买家加入竞购。
6月15日，彭博社援引一名匿名德国政府官员的消息称，如果能够在欧洲找到合适的买家购买库卡的其他股权，德国政府不会阻止美的收购库卡的49%或更少股份。此前《德国商报》曾报道，美的可能愿意只持有49%的库卡股权。
德国经济部的女发言人塔尼亚·阿里曼伊（Tanja Alemany）在一封邮件中也表示，经济部长加布利尔欢迎一个德国或欧洲的买家。正陪同德国总理默克尔访问中国的经济部副部长马蒂亚斯·马赫尼克（Matthias Machnig）在中国接受采访时称，德国仍在继续寻找欧洲投资者。
今年5月份，美的集团对外宣布，拟以每股115欧元要约收购德国工业机器人公司库卡，从而将对库卡的持股比例从13.5%提升至30%以上。若收购成功，美的将成为库卡的第一大股东。
美的对库卡公司的收购，引起了德国政府官员的注意。考虑到关键技术流失问题，德国经济部长加布利尔曾表示，德国政府正在试图协调，安排对工业机器人制造商库卡集团提出另一个收购要约，对抗中国美的集团的45亿欧元收购出价。
不过他随后也表示，政治界无法阻止这个交易的进行，因为其中并不涉及安全利益问题。“我们可能施加的影响被限制在口头上。”他表示。
除了政府官员反对外，目前库卡最大的股东福伊特（Voith）。福伊特总裁兼首席执行官Hubert Lienhard也对此次收购表示不能理解。他说，“库卡回复这一控股提案的方式，让我们很惊讶，令我个人震惊。相关考核必须要完全在结果未知的情况下进行。”作为大股东，Voith在股东大会上有权否定管理层的路线。
面对这些质疑，美的集团在宣布收购方案后公告：重申美的不以库卡退市为目标，要约收购的目标是对库卡的持股从13.5%增至30%以上，将尽力维持库卡在德国的上市公司地位、业务独立性和管理团队的稳定性。
对于美的来说，库卡的核心优势在于机器人综合制造实力强、下游应用经验丰富，美的希望通过此次收购，布局机器人领域的中游总装环节，并积累下游应用经验，为其在中国推广做足铺垫。同时，白色家电企业属于劳动密集型企业，用机器人代替人工已经逐渐成为制造领域里的趋势之一。
拥有百年历史的库卡公司总部在德国南部城市奥格斯堡，是全球主要的工业机器人生产厂商之一。库卡同时也是全球领先的机器人、自动化设备及解决方案的供应商，专注于工业机器人制造、自动化控制系统两大业务。2015年收购瑞士Swisslog之后其在自动化系统集成上更进一步。目前，库卡50%的机器人与控制系统应用于汽车行业。
