About SCHOTTEL

The SCHOTTEL Group, with its headquarters in Spay/Rhine, is one of the world’s leading manufacturers of steerable propulsion systems for ships and offshore applications. Founded in 1921, the company has been developing and manufacturing azimuth propulsion and complete propulsion systems with power ratings of up to 30 megawatts for vessels of all sizes and types for more than 75 years. Around 100 sales and service locations worldwide ensure customer proximity.

With the invention of the modern rudder propeller in 1950, Josef Becker laid the foundation for SCHOTTEL’s development into one of the world’s leading manufacturers of vessel propulsion systems. Whether azimuth propulsion systems, controllable pitch propellers, main propulsion units or manoeuvring aids, rudder propellers or automation systems: We develop and produce intelligent solutions for vessels and offshore applications of all types and sizes.

From the planning phase through the entire life cycle, customers benefit from many years of propulsion expertise paired with advanced simulation and calculation methods and the latest scientific findings. The result is state-of-the-art products with maximum efficiency, reliability and safety. Production takes place in our own factories in Dörth and Wismar, Germany, accompanied by continuous controls to ensure the highest quality standards. In cooperation with our sister company elkon, we can also provide fully integrated electrical systems for various types of ships.
