The History of MAN B&W Diesel

In 1758 Eisenhtte St. Antony is established in Oberhausen In 1840 Sander'sche Maschinen Fabrik is established in Augsburg In 1843 Baumgarten establishes a workshop in Copenhagen Gutehoffnungshtte Actienverein (GHH) is established in 1873 In 1921 GHH acquired a majority in M.A.N. Burmeister & Wain (1865) B&W Motor A/S (1974) M.A.N. Maschinenfabrik Augsburg-Nrnberg (1908)

In 1979/80 B&W Motor A/S is taken over by M.A.N., and M.A.N. B&W Diesel A/S is established

In 1986 M.A.N. was merged into GHH and renamed MAN AG The divisions were hived off to form individual public limited companies
