Ad. Strüver is a machine - and vehicle - companies from Hamburg .

Adolph Strüver (1866–1947), after whom the Strüverweg in Groß Borstel is named, left his import and export company as the Ad company in April 1893 . Enter Strüver Hamburg in the commercial register.

His son, the Dipl.-Ing. Hans Strüver, in recognition of the increasing demand for technical products, in particular because of the increasing use of the diesel engine, added a "unit construction department", whose production formed the core of the manufacturing company from then on. To this end, around 1936 he acquired the former Petersenpark from the Fockelmann pet store . This company traded under the name of Ad. Strüver Aggregatebau KG .

As a result of the slump in exports at the beginning of the war, Hatlapa in Uetersen built 1938–1942 rail coolies with 5 hp Deutz single-cylinder diesel engines, which they produced themselves in 1946–1976. They also produced mobile emergency power systems , from 1942 with Deutz anthracite suction gas systems . Since 1951 they have offered special diesel units for power generation and shipbuilding as well as tank trucks (up to 5000 kVA). In 1972 the ferries Blenheim, Hammershus, Tintoretto and Apollo were equipped with Strüver on-board units. Around 1977, closer cooperation was agreed with Klöckner-Humboldt-Deutz AG in the field of mobile and stationary power generation systems.

1951–1952 they had a settlement built for their company employees.

With the Strüver Monotank, they developed a frameless tanker, which they registered as a trademark in 1961. Their milk collection truck was also based on this base .

On February 8, 1972, Black September terrorists carried out an explosive attack on Strüver's assembly hall in Hamburg.

Until the 1990s they were active in tank truck construction, mainly in the maintenance of these vehicles and the AFS (Aviation Fuel Service). Deutz AG, which had acquired 94 percent of the company shares, “cut down” the company from 1986 to 1996 and later issued a letter of comfort . The subsidiary Ad. Strüver Airport Equipment GmbH , which in the summer of 1993 belonged to the group of the Mannheim entrepreneur Peter Hartmann, had to file for bankruptcy and was taken over by Hünert Fahrzeugbau in February 1994 .

In 2002 Franz O. Disch was the director.
