Baker Hughes announces sale of Waygate Technologies to Hexagon

Waygate Technologies, part of Baker Hughes’ Industrial & Energy Technology (IET) segment, is a global leader in advanced non-destructive testing for the inspection of critical assets without disruption. The sale encompasses Waygate Technologies’ remote visual inspection, ultrasound, radiography, and imaging solutions portfolios, and all assets of the business, including intellectual property, footprint, and resources.

This divestiture, alongside the three recently completed transactions and the pending acquisition of Chart Industries, demonstrates Baker Hughes’ ongoing dedication to strategic, value-driven portfolio management. These actions are intended to enhance the durability of earnings and cash flow, with the proceeds further reinforcing the strength of the company’s balance sheet. Through a disciplined, returns-focused capital allocation approach, Baker Hughes continues to strengthen its position for sustainable, long-term growth.

“This transaction marks another significant milestone and reinforces our ongoing commitment to long-term value creation for our shareholders,” said Baker Hughes Chairman and CEO Lorenzo Simonelli. “By sharpening our focus on our core strengths – rotating equipment, flow control, digital, production optimisation, and decarbonisation – we are strategically positioning Baker Hughes to deliver higher returns while accelerating investment in high-growth areas that are aligned with our long-term vision.”

Hexagon, with headquarters in Stockholm, has approximately 24 500 employees in 50 countries. A global leader in precision measurement, positioning, and autonomous solutions, Hexagon provides the confidence that customers rely on to build, navigate, and innovate, driving productivity, quality, safety, and sustainability in industries like aerospace and defence, automotive, construction, general manufacturing, and mining.

The closing of the transaction is subject to customary conditions, including regulatory approvals, and is expected to close in 2H26.
