MAN Diesel & Turbo is the world’s leading provider of large-bore diesel engines
and turbomachinery. Our product portfolio includes two-stroke and four-stroke en-
gines for marine and stationary applications, turbochargers and propellers, as well
as gas and steam turbines, compressors and chemical reactors.
MAN solutions can be found in ship propulsion, engine-based power plants and
turbomachinery trains for the oil & gas and process industries. We support our
global customers with a comprehensive range of after-sales services under the
MAN PrimeServ brand.
MAN Diesel & Turbo has always been committed to increasing fuel efficiency and
reducing emissions. Today, this commitment ensures that our customers are able
to meet increasingly strict emissions regulations and plays a vital role in reducing
the environmental impact of global trade and industry.
