The Rostock diesel engine plant (DMR) in Rostock's Südstadt was founded in 1949 and, as a state-owned company (VEB), was a supplier for shipbuilding in the GDR in the shipbuilding combine .

history

The company emerged from the Windkraftwerke und Maschinenbau (WIMA) founded in 1947 . In addition to large diesel engines , the DMR also produced consumer goods.

After the end of the GDR, the Treuhandanstalt sought to privatize the company, which had meanwhile been converted into a GmbH . 1992, took Bremer Vulkan AG next to the Mathias-Thesen-Werft Wismar and Volkswerft Stralsund and the Rostock Dieselmotorenwerk and called it Dieselmotorenwerk volcano . After Vulkan went bankrupt in 1996, the Augsburg-based diesel engine manufacturer MAN was interested in the DMR, but had to refrain from buying it for anti-trust reasons.

Since March 1997 the company has belonged to the Ostseebeteiligungsgesellschaft (OBG), in which the Federal Agency for Unification-Related Special Tasks (BvS) and the state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania held a 51 to 49 percent share.

In 1999, Caterpillar Motoren GmbH & Co. KG acquired parts of the plant. The DMR production company also manufactured ship drives, wind turbines, gas and steam turbines, and went bankrupt in 2013.
