Why did Emerson sell Climate Technologies?
The company took the opportunity to refer to the aforementioned sale to Blackstone, indicating that "a transaction of this magnitude occurs when both parties benefit from the new corporate structure" and specifying that Emerson's vision to strengthen its positioning was a portfolio restructuring process, a context in which the company also made investments in companies such as Symmera and First Resonance.
"This transaction is a key step in simplifying our portfolio and enhancing Emerson's focus as a global leader in automation", Lal Karsanbhai, Emerson's chairman and chief executive officer, said prior to the 
event. "We believe that now is the right time to execute our plans to fully exit the Copeland business", Karsanbhai was quoted as saying by the company.
