Maritime products for the shipbuilding industry, such as deck cranes, winches and steering gear units of various sizes, formed the main world-wide business field of our traditional company for almost 60 years. Founded in 1948, the company operated nationally and internationally under the name KGW Schweriner Maschinenbau GmbH until 2006.
Starting from a small beginning, steering gear units for a rudder torque up to 5,000 kNm, deck cranes with electrical or electro-hydraulic drive as well as any kind of ship's winches were developed and manufactured.
Today, KGW focuses its activities on its core business in the energy and environmental technology field, however, products for the shipbuilding industry are still manufactured as job orders to customer specification.
