Company history
Although the company does not have a long history under its current name, its origins go back a long way. In 1487 the Fuggers founded a smelter . In 1657, the entire Fugger property in Tyrol was taken over by the state, but the copper and silver deposits were exhausted, so that iron ore was mined from that point on . After the hut had meanwhile been transferred to the Salzburg-Tiroler Montangesellschaft in 1870 , it was acquired by Julius and Theodor Reitlinger in 1881. From 1909 the iron ran out, and after an upswing during the First World War, only the foundry remained.
After Julius Reitlinger's death, the works became the property of his son Friedrich Reitlinger . In 1938, shortly after Austria was "annexed" to the National Socialist German Reich, he and his daughter committed suicide after he had been detained in his house by the National Socialists. The plant was confiscated and Aryanized in favor of the state of Tyrol . Initially, brake pads were manufactured for the Deutsche Reichsbahn , and from 1939 by Ernst Heinkel aircraft parts and rocket motors . The plant thus became the largest armaments factory in Tyrol. There was massive use of Nazi forced labor: two thirds of the 3,000 employees were forced laborers. A women's camp, which was subordinate to the Gestapo as a satellite camp of the Reichenau labor education camp , was located at the Jenbacher Heinkel works. The Ukrainian forced laborer Eugenia Kaser reports on the poor conditions in the camp.
Post-war period (from 1945)
After the collapse at the end of the Second World War, the plant was placed under public administration. It had to be converted to peacetime production, whereby cookware was first produced, but also the repair of railway wagons began. Due to the availability of appropriate specialists and skilled workers, it was decided to concentrate on the production of diesel engines . First a 15 hp four-stroke engine was built, which was very successful and was produced in large numbers. This was followed by other four-stroke models and finally two-stroke models up to over 1500 hp. In the 1990s, however, the large, mainly diesel two-stroke engines were replaced by increasingly more powerful and mainly gas-powered turbo four-stroke engines. Jenbach had never just produced engines, but always complete applications with compressors, pumps, power generators or the like. Two-wheel construction site compressors with a single-cylinder engine and hand crank start , which can be towed by means of a truck trailer coupling, were very common in Austria in the 1970s to 1990s for operating jackhammers on construction sites. A striking feature is the sloping sheet metal cladding at the rear, which only partially covers the cylindrical boiler below.
Jenbacher Werke AG (1959 to 2003)
It was not until 1959 that the company was constituted as Jenbacher Werke AG , whereby the main shareholders were Creditanstalt-Bankverein (CA) with 35% and Mannesmann with 26%, the rest were in free float. CA increased its stake continuously, and through the sale of the Mannesmann shares to Andritz AG , which is controlled by CA , it obtained a vast majority of the share capital. In 1979 the factory employed 1,550 people. In 1988 the majority of the company was acquired by Auricon Beteiligungs AG .
Jenbacher Energiesysteme AG (JES) & Jenbacher Transportsysteme AG (JTS) - (1991 to 2003)
In 1991 the company was split into Jenbacher Energiesysteme AG (JES) and Jenbacher Transportsysteme AG (JTS) . In the same year JTS took over 29.9% of the British Telfos Holding, whereby the company also secured an influence on Ganz-Hunslet, the former Hungarian Ganz - Mávag locomotive factory . At the end of the year, JTS became the majority owner of Telfos. The attempt to get into tram production with the help of AEG was unsuccessful .
General Electric - Distributed Power (2003 to 2018)
After the Integral caused a loss of over 22 million euros, the rail vehicle division was sold to Connex in 2001 . The other part of the company was sold to General Electric in 2003 .
Advent International - Innio Jenbacher & Waukesha Gas Engines (2018 to date)
In June 2018, General Electric announced the sale of its entire Distributed Power division , consisting of the group's gas engine activities with u. a. the business of GE Jenbacher and the plant in Jenbach, known to the financial investor Advent . On November 1st, 2018 Jenbacher was merged with its sister companies Waukesha and Kapfenberg under the new company and brand name Innio, the headquarters of Innio is in Jenbach. Since July 2019, the Waukesha and Jenbacher divisions have been serving their customers in various industries worldwide as independent units under the Innio umbrella brand.
Former activities
From 1945, among other things, repairs of rolling goods for the French occupying forces began. In addition, Jenbacher turned increasingly chassis for diesel engines ( Feldbahn -Diesellokomotiven, compressors and diesel-carts, such as the buffalo for luggage and train Express Good on the platforms) and many subsequently Railway - locomotives for the Austrian Federal Railways , as well as vehicles for other railway companies and companies.
Engine blocks for the Lindner tractor works, compressors and stationary engines
From 1948 Jenbacher built stationary engines with two flywheels with the type designations JW 15 (15 PS, 11 kW), JW 20 (20 PS, 15 kW) and JW 35 (40 PS, 30 kW) which, among other things, are used in Lindner diesel tractors " L-15PS "and" L-20 PS "were installed. The type JW 8 had 4 to 8 HP at speeds between 800 and 1500 min −1 and could drive a threshing machine via a pulley . JW 15 K was the name of a compressor that - viewed in the direction of travel - had to be cranked on the right-hand side . There was also a JW 20 engine and compressor. The JW 220 compressor was built in 1961 and can be cranked on the left.
Motors from the "LM" series
At the beginning of the development of a new range of high-performance engines from the 1980s on, a decision had to be made between the four-stroke and the two-stroke principle. Taking into account the simpler construction with few moving parts subject to wear, the more advantageous power-to-weight ratio and the substantially lower NOx exhaust emissions, the two-stroke principle was given priority.
A two-stroke engine with high performance Spülluftkühlung for stationary application and an average effective pressure of 6.64 bar has a good power to weight ratio, although a rotation speed of 1000 min -1 , as deemed appropriate for the drive of compressors must be used. Despite this high mean pressure, the average piston speeds and the mean useful pressure, if they are used to estimate the thermal load, can lead to favorable values. The requirements stipulated by the environmental protection authorities with regard to exhaust emissions are becoming increasingly important. For this reason, the development of two-stroke engines concentrated with internal mixture formation and a power range from 750 to 2500 kW at 1000 min -1 of a diesel engine series with six, eight and twelve cylinders based.

Rail vehicles
For the ÖBB, the company produced the series 2060 , 2062 , 2043 , 5081 (license production of the Uerdinger rail bus ), 2068 , 5047 , 5147 , but also the electro-hydraulic locomotive 1067 . Some of these types were also used by other railway administrations. The Yugoslav Railways also ordered a large number of shunting locomotives , and several variants of the МГ series could be delivered to the SŽD . 27 generator locomotives, which could also be used as a power station to generate electricity, also came to the SŽD . Other railway companies supplied were, for example, GKB , TCDD and EAR , for which locomotives were created in 1971 in cooperation with Henschel . In the sixties, Deutz diesel locomotives with approx. 200 - 500 hp were also built under license. The light rail locomotives and factory locomotives were particularly numerous, many of which were used by Voest in particular .
The Jenbacher Werke named their locomotives according to a system from which power transmission , approximate power, wheel alignment or purpose as well as the service weight emerge. The ÖBB series 2060 therefore had the factory designation DH 200 B28. The other models were named JW.
In 1973, Jenbacher Werke had delivered three 1000 HP four-axle locomotives of the type DHG 1000 B'B 'to Vöest Linz as part of a license agreement with Henschel (1004.01-03). By doing without a train heating unit, GKB took over the basic design of the Henschel DHG 1000/1200 industrial railway mid-level driver .
The first series V 1500.1 to 4 (JW 3.750-001 to 004) was delivered at the end of 1975. The somewhat heavier V 1500.5 and V 1500.6 originate from individual replica orders and were delivered at the end of 1977 and 1978 respectively. These were equipped with the Jenbacher LM 1500 V motor. In 1991 the locomotives were retrofitted with multiple traction control for push-pull operation. In 1997, the re-engine began with a charged four-stroke diesel engine MTU 12V396 TC 14. The converted DH 1500.1 and 6 meet today's requirements in terms of noise emissions and exhaust gas standards, the nominal power remained almost the same (1120 instead of 1103 kW). The V 1500 are used today in double-decker cars and freight trains.
Jenbacher was also still active in wagon construction. From 1965 onwards, four-axle passenger coaches for domestic transport by the ÖBB, the so-called " Schlieren coaches ", were built under license. The last important product, the Integral articulated train from the Bayerische Oberlandbahn , was a failure that ultimately led to the withdrawal from rail vehicle construction.
