斯泰尔剥离的原因在于欧盟委员会批准科尼即将收购特雷克斯MHPS业务（MHPS收购），条件是科尼剥离斯泰尔起重设备公司。另外，只有在斯泰尔起重设备公司买方通过欧盟委员会批准后，科尼和特雷克斯方可获准结束MHPS收购。
斯泰尔起重设备公司是一家起重技术和起重机零部件全球供应商。公司因其出色的工程系统解决方案而享誉全球，客户涉及分销商、起重机制造商和EPC公司。公司总部位于德国金策尔斯奥市。2016年，斯泰尔起重设备公司在科尼集团外的销售额预计为1.35亿欧元左右，独立核算的EBITDA (未计利息、税项、折旧及摊销前的利润) 估计接近3000万欧元。斯泰尔起重设备公司在全球约有员工650名。
计划在2017年4月30日之前完成的斯泰尔剥离，将取决于欧盟委员会对CM公司为斯泰尔的合适买家的批准，德国反垄断机构Bundeskartellamt的合并监管批准，从而完成MHPS收购。
科尼会将从斯泰尔剥离中获得的收益用于分期偿还与MHPS收购相关的贷款。
科尼总裁兼CEO Panu Routila表示：“我们非常乐意公布这项交易，因为这是在结束MHPS收购方面取得进展的一个重要里程碑。能够按时完成这项战略性交易我们感到很欣慰，这也能尽量缩短了斯泰尔起重设备公司及其员工的不确定阶段。

Konecranes has signed an agreement with Columbus McKinnon Corporation regarding the divestment of the STAHL CraneSystems business
Konecranes has signed an agreement with Columbus McKinnon Corporation (“Columbus McKinnon”) regarding the divestment of the STAHL CraneSystems business (“STAHL Divestment”). Konecranes will receive cash proceeds of EUR 224-230 million from the transaction depending on the 2016 result of STAHL CraneSystems. Additionally, Columbus McKinnon assumes unfunded pension liabilities that were estimated at EUR 74 million as of July 31, 2016, during the divestment process. Konecranes expects to book an after-tax capital gain of approximately EUR 190 million upon closing of the STAHL Divestment.
The STAHL Divestment relates to the European Commission’s approval of Konecranes’ pending acquisition of Terex Corporation’s (“Terex”) MHPS business (“MHPS Acquisition”), which is conditional on Konecranes divesting its STAHL CraneSystems business. Furthermore, Konecranes and Terex are not allowed to close the MHPS Acquisition until the Commission has approved the buyer of the STAHL CraneSystems business.
STAHL CraneSystems is a global supplier of hoisting technology and crane components. The company is well-known for its capability to build engineered system solutions. Its customers include distributors, crane builders as well as EPC companies. STAHL CraneSystems is headquartered in Künzelsau, Germany. In 2016, STAHL CraneSystems’ sales outside the Konecranes Group are estimated to total approximately EUR 135 million and the pro forma EBITDA on a stand-alone basis is estimated to be somewhat below EUR 30 million. STAHL CraneSystems has approximately 650 employees around the world.
The STAHL Divestment, which is expected to close prior to April 30, 2017, is subject to the European Commission’s approval of Columbus McKinnon as a suitable purchaser, the German Bundeskartellamt’s merger control approval, as well as the closing of MHPS Acquisition.
Konecranes will use the proceeds from the STAHL CraneSystems divestment to amortize loans related to the MHPS Acquisition.
"We are very pleased to announce this transaction. It is an important milestone in making progress toward closing the MHPS Acquisition. We are satisfied that we could achieve this strategic milestone in a timely manner, thereby minimizing the period of uncertainty for the STAHL CranesSystems business and personnel," says Panu Routila, President and CEO of Konecranes.
