Veth Propulsion Celebrates 75 Years
1951 - 2026
In 2026, Veth Propulsion celebrates 75 years of maritime entrepreneurship, craftsmanship and innovation.
For three quarters of a century, we have grown alongside the maritime industry, evolving from a small, hands-on technical company into an internationally respected developer of advanced propulsion and control systems. What has never changed is our commitment to precision, reliability and forward-thinking engineering. Our strength lies in combining deep technical expertise with the courage to innovate. From inland shipping to offshore, dredging, ferries and super yachts, we design and build solutions that meet the highest standards of performance, sustainability and durability.
Today, as Veth Propulsion by Twin Disc, we unite our heritage with global strength. Backed by international reach and driven by the same entrepreneurial spirit that shaped our beginnings, we continue to push boundaries in propulsion technology.
