MiCo Co., Ltd. (KOSDAQ: 059090) announced that its subsidiary, Hyundai Heavy Industries Power Systems Co., Ltd., has signed a Share Purchase Agreement (SPA) to acquire a 100% stake in Netherlands-based NEM Energy B.V. (NEM Energy) from Mutares SE & Co. KGaA, a German-listed investment firm. The transaction, which includes NEM Energy’s German subsidiary NEM Balcke-Dürr GmbH, is scheduled to close in the third quarter of 2026, subject to customary regulatory approvals.
Founded in 1929, NEM Energy brings nearly a century of technical expertise to the deal. The company possesses world-class design and engineering capabilities in HRSG systems — a core component of combined-cycle power plants (CCPP) — as well as Exhaust and Diverter Systems (EDS), Gas Turbine Emission Reduction Systems (T-SCR), and Heat Exchangers (HXR). NEM Energy also maintains long-standing partnerships with major EPCs, global gas turbine OEMs and utilities, with strong brand recognition across key markets in Europe, North America, and the Middle East.
Hyundai Heavy Industries Power Systems Co., Ltd (HPS), has built a highly competitive manufacturing base across South Korea, China, and Vietnam since 2004. Its Yantai-based subsidiary in China, YHHI, is recognized for industry-leading fabrication quality and cost efficiency in the global HRSG market.
Together, the two companies create a compelling strategic fit. By combining NEM Energy’s proprietary design and engineering technologies with HPS’s manufacturing scale, MiCo establishes end-to-end, design-to-delivery capabilities across the HRSG value chain.
The transaction comes as the global power market enters a structural growth phase, driven by surging electricity demand from AI data centers and accelerating electrification. Combined-cycle power plants are emerging as a critical bridge power source to meet this immediate baseload requirement and consequently Heat Recovery Steam Generator (HRSG) market is projected to see robust growth.
Tae Hyung Ha, CEO of HPS, commented: “This acquisition marks a defining moment in our global growth strategies of both the MiCo Group and HPS. By combining NEM Energy’s century-long engineering legacy with our manufacturing scale and cost competitiveness, we will establish an energy platform capable of leading the global HRSG market. We also see exceptional long-term potential in distributed heat and electricity, renewable energy and nuclear as global power demand accelerates.”
