We are entirely committed to our long shipbuilding tradition. Based on this vast experience and our state-of-the-art expertise we work closely with our customers worldwide to further advance our renowned submarines and naval vessels, as well as developing new future-proof designs ready for construction at our yards or selected sites worldwide.
Since the merger of Howaldtswerke-Deutsche Werft (HDW) and Blohm+Voss Naval in January 2013 and acquisition of Atlas Elektronik in April 2017, our Marine Systems brand stands for more than 175 years of cutting-edge technology and engineering expertise made in Germany.
As a private-sector company, we are particularly focused on efficient, reliable and sustainable solutions as well as on long-term partnerships with our customers. That differentiates us from our competitors.
With sites in Kiel, Hamburg, Bremen and Emden, we are part of the thyssenkrupp group. The access we enjoy to the expertise and resources of thyssenkrupp enables us to offer our customers tailored financing solutions, for example. Marine Systems for its part is made up of four operating units: Submarines, Surface Vessels, Naval Electronic Systems and Services.
