history
Segula Technologies was founded in 1985 as an innovation and engineering services consultancy. In 2002 the company opened subsidiaries outside France for the first time, with branches in Spain , Romania and Tunisia . In 2005 branches in the United States and the People's Republic of China followed . In May 2007 Segula took over the Brazilian engineering services company Cardix SA, founded in 1991. In January 2009 the company acquired the prototype division of Matra Automobile , which specializes in electric vehicles . In the same year Segula presented under the name Sitrum a self-designed hybrid electric - truck before.
Segula has been present in Germany since 2011 with the establishment of Segula Technologies GmbH based in Ratingen ( Cologne since 2015 ). With the Hagura , Segula presented a vehicle concept in 2012 whose drive consisted of a two-stroke hybrid engine instead of the usual four- stroke engine.
In 2015 Segula acquired the Brazilian company Promax Engenharia, which specializes in engineering and product design . In 2016, Segula acquired Griswold Engineering Inc. , based in Plymouth , Michigan , 3AI , the French plastic parts designer , Sira France's Moroccan aerospace subsidiary , Sira Maroc , and the French oil and gas company Secomat and Horus .
Since then, Segula has acquired other product design and supplier companies from the United States, Brazil , Morocco and France, among others . In addition, Segula acquired the automotive design company Technicon . Technicon employs around 400 people worldwide, including at the German locations in Cologne and Munich . In addition, Segula acquired the Munich-based company EK Design, which was founded in 1994 and has around 400 employees.
In March 2017, Segula presented his new Hagora Pulse vehicle concept at the Geneva Motor Show , which features pedestrian detection, driver status detection and gesture control in combination with augmented reality elements. Between 2012 and 2017, the company increased its number of employees from around 6,700 in 2012 to around 11,000 in 2017. Between 2014 and 2017, the company increased its sales by around 60 percent through acquisitions and organic growth. According to its own information, the company aims to hire more than 4,600 new employees in 2018, around 50 percent of them outside France.
In June 2018 Segula and the Munich-based service provider ESG Elektroniksystem und Logistik-GmbH, which specializes in electronics and logistics, announced a cooperation for strategic projects and the joint support of customers. In July, Segula took over the French plastics technology company Activetech with 84 employees.
Takeover of parts of the Opel development center
In mid-November 2018, Segula and Opel announced that they had agreed on a strategic partnership. Parts of the Opel development center in Rüsselsheim, including 2000 employees, are to be taken over from Segula Technologies and a "technology campus" is to be created in Rüsselsheim. The Opel employees resisted, so that the automobile manufacturer had to find a solution in negotiations with the works council. In mid-March 2019, Opel reported that an agreement had been reached with the employees at the development center. Accordingly, the program for severance payments, partial retirement and early retirement will be offered again. This gives employees the choice of joining the new Segula Technologies company or accepting an offer from the program. For Opel the fact remains that 2000 jobs will be cut in the company.
