LDW at the Hastedter Osterdeich

The LDW Werke GmbH (LDW) are a German company based in Bremen district of Hemelingen , district Hastedt .

Business area

The focus of production is on large electrical machines ( motors / generators ) for ship propulsion, industrial propulsion technology and energy generation (e.g. hydropower plants). As a rule, there is no series production , but an individual production.

The LDW conduct their own research and development and cooperate with universities and colleges.

In addition, the LDW ensures the service for large electrical machines of the AEG, which was dissolved in 1996 - all documents of the former AEG products are in the possession of the LDW. Spare parts or complete replacement machines with the same properties can therefore also be built for very old machines.

The machines are supplied and looked after worldwide via a dense sales and service network.

history

Lloyd-Dynamowerke AG share blank from May 1917

At the beginning of the 20th century, the LDW were an important component of the industrial settlement in Bremen: On May 15, 1906, the major shipping company Norddeutscher Lloyd founded the Norddeutsche Automobil- und Motorenwerke Aktiengesellschaft (NAMAG). In the course of the merger of NAMAG and Hansa Automobil Gesellschaft in Varel to form Hansa-Lloyd Werke AG in 1914, the department for dynamo and electric motor construction was spun off as Lloyd Dynamowerke Aktiengesellschaft . The driving force behind this was the electric car pioneer Sigmund Meyer . There were equal - and AC motors and complete ship installations made.

In 1934 AEG took over the majority of shares in LDW. DC motors and generators up to an output of several MW and three-phase synchronous generators are manufactured. In 1960, the company became fully owned by AEG.

In 1983 the product range was expanded to include DC motors up to 8,000 kW, synchronous machines up to 55,000 kW and asynchronous machines up to 35,000 kW. In 1986 a new assembly hall and a test field for machines up to 200  tons were built . In 1994 LDW was restructured with a focus on the core business (sales and development, winding, assembly, testing and service). The elexis Elektro Holding GmbH (1998 renamed Elexis AG ) took over in 1996, the LDW - like other companies in the AEG Daimler-Benz group. The LDW became an independent company again in 1999.

In 2006 the company was taken over by the Berlin financial investor CMP Capital Management-Partners GmbH . In August 2008, Kirloskar Electric Company Limited , one of the leading Indian suppliers of electrical machines, acquired the majority stake in LDW.

In September 2014, the company filed for bankruptcy again, despite a good order situation, after running into financial difficulties in 1999 and 2006. As a result, the company was taken over by the South Korean industrial group Hyosung Corporation in January 2015 . In January 2017, the company filed for bankruptcy following the withdrawal of the South Korean Hyosung Group due to overindebtedness . The company was subsequently taken over by the Luxembourg-based company Powertrans.
