Modine Completes Spin-off and Merger of Performance Technologies
Modine has finalized the spin-off of its Performance Technologies business, combining it with Gentherm in a Reverse Morris Trust transaction valued at approximately $946.4 million. The move allows the Racine-based company to sharpen its focus on data center cooling and commercial HVAC markets as it prepares for a corporate rebranding.

The deal, completed October 1, 2026, saw Modine shareholders receive 0.44619 shares of Gentherm common stock for each Modine share held. Following the merger, Modine shareholders retain roughly 43.62% ownership of the combined entity. As part of the financial restructuring, Modine received a $156 million cash distribution, which the company utilized to pay down outstanding debt.
While Gentherm has acquired the Modine brand and trademarks, the company plans to transition its remaining operations to a new identity, Modexus Solutions, subject to a shareholder vote expected within the next three months. To maintain continuity, Modine will operate under a license from Gentherm to use the brand name for its ongoing Heat Transfer Solutions and HVAC segments. Neil D. Brinker, President and CEO of Modine, described the transaction as a strategic milestone that enables the firm to apply its 80/20 discipline to high-growth thermal management sectors. Concurrently, Paul Mascarenas has joined the Gentherm Board of Directors to oversee the integration.
