Market Leader in Ship Propellers
Without meaning to brag: the largest ship propellers in the world are made by us! As market leader among the world‘s largest propeller manufacturers, we consider it our duty to constantly set new standards. The criteria by which we are measured: optimised propeller designs for all types and sizes of vessel and sufficient production capacity to enable us to manufacture even high-performance propellers risk-free and to a high standard. Added to this are flexibility, dependability and delivery reliability. An export quota of 80 percent – primarily to Asia – requires a great deal of experience to accurately time the design, manufacture and transport and ensure that the propeller arrives just in time at its place of installation.Under water is where you really see the good work we have done: The quality of a ship propeller can only be tested after its launch. Long before this and drawing on their considerable experience, our engineers will have drafted the design following a thorough analysis of all important ship data. In production we also rely upon our expertise and upon the latest technology. This is the key to manufacturing castings to the highest standard of homogeneity and quality. After casting, we machine the ship propellers via CNC control with an accuracy of a few hundredths of a millimetre. This is where craftsmanship comes in: Even the heaviest and largest propellers have to be treated manually by our staff in order to achieve the greatest level of precision when grinding sensitive areas.
The DIHAG Group provides us with the necessary backing for our business and, thanks to this strong partner we have succeeded in becoming market leader. We are also ready to meet the challenges of the future: The international shipbuilding market is constantly changing and adapting in terms of vessel size and type, performance parameters and not least production location. We strive to stay abreast of such changes through extensive research and development, which will enable us to continue offering optimum propulsion systems.
Our staff is a great source of pride to us given the manner in which they assume the immense responsibility for manufacturing such large propellers. With their expertise and craftsmanship, they are the guarantee of our success.
