美國制造商聯合技術公司即將完成300億美元規模的交易，將創造航空領域史上最大并購案。這家航空業巨頭剛剛獲得美國政府的批準，只要成功出售某些資產，就可以收購航空電子設備制造商羅克韋爾科林斯公司（Rockwell Collins）。

聯合技術公司的首席執行官格里高利·海耶斯向《財富》資深特派記者蘇西·加里布表示，在30年的職業生涯中，他一直很欣賞羅克韋爾公司，稱之為“航空業優質資產”。

海耶斯說：“收購羅克韋爾將為聯合技術引入前所未有的技術，就是數字駕駛艙。有了羅克韋爾的技術，我們可以實現整架飛機數字化連接起。”

但并購完成后，聯合技術很可能剝離部分業務。聯合技術年營業收入達660億美元，員工超過10萬名，在《財富》美國500強榜單中排名第51位。兩位激動投資者——領導對沖基金Pershing Square Capital Management的比爾·阿克曼和對沖基金Third Point創始人丹尼爾·勒布都在推動，將聯合技術拆分為三家公司，即飛機發動機制造商普惠、電梯制造商奧的斯以及空調運營商。

海耶斯稱拆分業務很有意義。“我相信拆分后發展會更快，決策更迅速，組織也更靈活。拆分后可為人們提供更多機會，也為股東創造更多的價值。”他解釋說。（財富中文網）

United Technologies (UTX) is on the verge of closing a $30 billion deal that would be the largest in aerospace history. The aerospace giant has just won U.S. approval to buy avionics maker Rockwell Collins (COL), as long as it sells certain assets.

Speaking with Fortune’s Susie Gharib, United Technologies CEO Gregory Hayes says that during his 30-year career he always admired Rockwell as “the premier property in aerospace.”

“What Rockwell brings to UTC is something we’ve never had before, which is the digital cockpit,” he says. “It gives us the ability with Rockwell to connect the whole plane.”

But after the merger goes through, there’s a good chance United Technologies could break itself up. The massive industrial company has revenues of $66 billion dollars, more than 100,000 employees and is ranked number 51 on the Fortune 500 list of the biggest companies in America. Activist investors Bill Ackman of Pershing Square Capital Management, and Daniel Loeb of Third Point, have been pushing the Farmington, Connecticut company to split up into three businesses—Pratt & Whitney jet engines, Otis elevators and Carrier air conditioners.

Hayes says he can see the value of doing that. “They’re going to grow faster, I believe, faster decision-making, more nimble organization,” he explains. “All of those things can create more opportunity for the people and more value for our shareowners.”
