“This guidance reflects good organic growth in our automation platform, supported by the record order book in process automation and continued resilience in our industrial automation sector, which is expected to be flat to modestly higher organically,” the company said.
“The life technology platform is expected to show modest organic growth, reflecting continued good demand in climate control and stability within life science & fluid control. Transport is expected to be broadly flat, in line with the global heavy duty truck market.”
