It also offers power, cooling, and airflow-management products for mission-critical facilities, serving commercial real-estate owners, educational institutions, financial firms, stadiums, military sites, broadband carriers, and healthcare providers.
The Automation Solutions segment focuses on network-infrastructure and digitization tools that handle data acquisition, transmission, orchestration, and management across discrete and process automation, energy, and mass-transit applications. Sales are made to distributors, end-users, installers, and OEMs worldwide.
Key metrics: FY 2023 revenue reached approximately $2.2 billion with an adjusted EBITDA margin of ~10%; the data-center market, a core growth driver, is projected to expand at a 7-8% CAGR through 2027, while 5G rollout and edge-computing demand are expected to boost cable-system volumes.
