history

Emerging from the former Gutehoffnungshütte (GHH) in Oberhausen , MAN Turbo can look back on over 200 years of history. The first GHH steam engines were built as early as 1814, and in 1904 the first GHH steam turbine as a generator drive machine with an output of 1,500 kW.

MAN Turbo was founded in the former "Turbo Machinery" division of MAN-GHH Sterkrade .

In 1996 Borsig -Maschinenbau (Berlin) was taken over and merged with MAN GHH Sterkrade to form MAN GHH Borsig Turbomaschinen GmbH .

In 2000, the Swiss company Sulzer Turbo (which in turn emerged from the takeover of Escher Wyss AG by the Sulzer Group in 1969 ) was taken over and the MAN Turbomaschinen AG group was formed. In mid-October 2004, MAN Turbomachinery officially got the new name MAN Turbo, which has long been common in parlance . In January 2006, the steam turbine activities of the ThyssenKrupp subsidiary B + V Industrietechnik, formerly Blohm + Voss , Hamburg, were taken over.

On July 14, 2009, the merger with MAN Diesel to form the new MAN Power Engineering division (Kraftanlagen) effective January 1, 2010 was announced. The merger was completed on March 26, 2010 (retroactive to January 1) with the entry of MAN Diesel & Turbo SE in the Augsburg commercial register .
