Whether it’s merchant shipping, naval shipbuilding, or offshore wind power, the German shipbuilding and offshore supply industry ranks among the world’s leading technology sectors. International competition, particularly from Asia, is growing steadily. At the same time, stricter environmental regulations, the decarbonization of shipping, and digitalization are driving technological change. Energy efficiency, alternative propulsion systems, intelligent control systems, and smart shipping solutions are key drivers of the maritime transformation.

The bevel gears and cylindrical gears that are used in the drive and control systems in shipbuilding must demonstrate their outstanding reliability and durability, even under the most extreme external conditions. The wide range of component diameters requires extensive bevel gear expertise for controlling the production process. Klingelnberg's many years of experience and its certification by all major classification societies are the guarantee of maximum product quality.
