### Ardian weighs multibillion Swissbit sale

PE Insights • August 18, 2026 at 12:03 PM ET

[×](/ko/private-markets?tab=pe-insights)

Ardian is exploring a sale of Swissbit, the Swiss industrial data storage maker, with a potential multibillion-dollar exit that could rank among the largest European hardware sales this year.

The process is still in early stages; UBS has been enlisted to gauge interest from strategic acquirers and rival financial sponsors. A market test will allow Ardian to assess offers without committing to a sale until the numbers are clear.

Swissbit, founded in **2001** through a management buyout of Siemens’ memory division, designs rugged storage and security devices for extreme environments. Headquartered in **Bronschhofen**, Switzerland, it operates a semiconductor and electronics facility in **Berlin**.

Ardian acquired a majority stake in Swissbit in **2020** and now seeks to determine whether a full exit aligns with the interest it can generate.
