중국의 양대 고속철 제조사인 중궈난처(中國南車·CSR)와 중궈베이처(中國北車·CNR)가 캐나다 최대 철도차량 제조업체인 봄바르디에(Bombardier)의 철도사업 인수를 추진하고 있다고 로이터통신이 29일(현지시간) 정통한 소식통을 인용해 보도했다. 지분 인수 협상은 내달로 예정된 중권난처와 중궈베이처의 합병 이후 가능할 전망이다. 두 기업이 합병하면 세계 최대 고속철업체로 거듭나게 된다. 봄바르디에의 인수로 두 고속철 업체의 해외 시장 공략은 더욱 가속화될 전망이다.  봄바르디에는 그동안 부채 축소 등을 위한 방법의 하나로 철도차량 사업의 일부 또는 전체 매각을 검토해왔던 것으로 알려졌다. 이에 대해 봄바르디에 대변인은 “철도사업이 매물로 나와있지 않다”고 일축했고, 중궈난처와 중궈베이처와는 연락이 닿지 않았다고 로이터는 전했다.

Deal could be CSR and CNR’s biggest overseas purchase

By Nisha Gopalan and PR Venkat    Chinese locomotive makers CSR Corp. 601766 -4.00 % ▼and China CNR Corp. 601299 -4.52 % ▼are considering buying a controlling stake in Bombardier Inc. BBD.B -0.41 % ▼’s train business, people with knowledge of the matter said, in what could be the merging state-owned companies biggest overseas foray. CSR and CNR, two halves of a state duopoly that makes and sells trains, including high-speed trains, is in the midst of merging to create a company that can compete overseas for contracts. The two companies currently sell their trains mainly in China and increasingly in developing markets, but have ambitions to be a bigger player globally. Any plans to bid would only come after a continuing merger between the two and the creation of a new company, CRRC Corp., is complete, the people said. Bombardier, which makes both trains and planes, hasn’t launched a formal sale, the people said, but the company has appointed banks to look into prospects for its train unit, Bombardier Transportation. They said CSR and CNR aren’t alone in weighing a bid for the train maker, with several Western and Japanese train makers also vying to buy the Canadian firm’s unit. Berlin-based Bombardier Transportation is one of the three biggest makers of rolling stock globally, along with France-based Alstom SA ALO -0.76 % ▼and Germany’s Siemens AG SIE 0.02 % ▲. The Canadian owned-company makes high-speed trains, which CNR and CSR also make for China, the world’s largest network of such fast trains. Bombardier Transportation’s 2014 revenue was US$9.6 billion, less than a third of the 222 billion yuan (US$36 billion) in revenues by CSR and CNR combined that year, according to analysts at Barclays. Buying Bombardier Transportation would give the combined CSR-CNR company instant access to one of the West’s biggest train makers and validate its continuing merger, part of a series of initiatives by Beijing to create national champions and reform slow-moving bureaucracies. China’s leadership is currently studying options to consolidate its oil industry, for instance, while some companies are looking to inject a more capitalist flair into their firms by bringing in foreign investors. CSR and CNR declined to comment. The two government-controlled companies, listed in both Shanghai and Hong Kong, have a total market capitalization of around US$127 billion, according to S&P Capital IQ. The two companies have already received government approval for the creation of CRRC, with the combination set to be complete next month. Reuters reported the CSR-CNR interest in the Bombardier unit earlier. http://www.wsj.com/articles/merging-china-firms-consider-buying-bombardier-train-business-1430381641
