22.09.2009 - MAN DWE GmbH, formerly Deggendorfer Werft and Eisenbau GmbH, has been merged into MAN Turbo AG (Oberhausen). The company, based in Deggendorf, Lower Bavaria, was integrated into the MAN Turbo Group organisationally in 2006. It now also forms part of the Oberhausen
firm under company law.

Both companies hope that the long-planned merger will result in a much stronger position in their shared markets of chemicals, petrochemicals and refineries. MAN DWE complements the product portfolio of the MAN Turbo Group with its expertise and competence in the construction of chemical reactors and special apparatus for high-tech applications. The existing global market shares of both companies are expected to be secured and expanded against the background of this merger. The potential available, above all in product distribution, is also to be exploited.

The companies are already united by a common history. MAN DWE was established in 1924 as a subsidiary of Gutehoffnungshütte (GHH), while
MAN Turbo AG, which came into existence out of the former Gutehoffnungshütte, still has its main office at the original location of GHH
in Oberhausen (NRW). Both companies belong to the globally active MAN Group, based in Munich.
