Siemens joins ACG as an Official Sponsor of Growth

CHICAGO, (April 16, 2019) – The Association for Corporate Growth (ACG) announced today that Siemens will help further its mission to drive middle-market growth as the association’s Official Sponsor of Growth (OSG).

Siemens, recognized by Fortune as the World’s Most Admired Company amongst its peers, is a leading supplier of systems and technology for a wide range of industries, including power generation and transmission, transportation, industrial manufacturing, medical imaging equipment solutions and more. The sponsorship supports ACG’s mission to expand the middle market through its large-scale dealmaking events, including the InterGrowth and EuroGrowth conferences, thought leadership content in Middle Market Growth® magazine, and other initiatives.

“Many companies look to Siemens for its profound global expertise in technology and infrastructure and aren’t aware of its expertise in delivering financing solutions to the middle market,” said Angela MacPhee, chair, ACG Global Board of Directors, and partner, Baker Tilly. “We’re grateful to Siemens for choosing ACG as its strategic partner to advance its brand awareness and position in the middle market.”

The OSG sponsorship is the highest level of commitment at ACG Global. Through branding and thought leadership opportunities with ACG, sponsoring organizations to advance their business goals while contributing to a healthy middle-market dealmaking ecosystem.

“Every private-equity-backed company looks for ways to drive profitability,” said Anthony Casciano, President and CEO of Siemens Financial Services, Inc. (SFS, Inc.). “SFS has been a trusted, strategic ally to the private equity community for over 10 years. By leveraging both Siemens’ balance sheet and technology know-how, we are able to yield powerful solutions for companies – across manufacturing plants, energy and building infrastructure, supply chain operations, and hospital systems.

“Siemens has solutions that help access and analyze critical data for driving down costs and improving business operation,” Casciano continued. “With financing capabilities ranging from acquisition to asset finance, we can support your needs, wherever they may lead.”

SFS, Inc. – the US financial arm of Siemens – offers flexible capital and tailored financing to help private equity (PE) firms meet corporate goals while delivering advisory services for financial risks within Siemens.

“We first sponsored InterGrowth on a small scale and were impressed with the participation of PE firms there,” Casciano said. “ACG’s InterGrowth conference provides a direct connection to the companies we work – and aim to work –within the middle market.”

Siemens joins Insperity, a professional employer organization, and Dixon Hughes Goodman, a top 20 U.S. public accounting firm, as ACG Global’s third OSG sponsor.

“Siemens is a perfect example of why ACG’s InterGrowth matters,” MacPhee said. “Global companies to lower middle-market companies all seek the same thing - valuable and meaningful relationships that advance their strategic goals. We’re privileged to consistently deliver the relationships critical to dealmaking and that help drive middle-market growth.”
