Lurssen Shipyard of Germany
Family Business - The Lurssen family - now in its 4th generation – is dedicated to keeping the business firmly in private hands. It believes that independence from shareholders and investors plays a key role in the building of state-of-the-art, high-quality ships. For generations, its philosophy has been to provide whatever the customer wants. 'We will not be satisfied until you, our Customer, are satisfied. That’s our philosophy!', declare Friedrich and Peter Lurssen. The Team - Lurssen is more than just your usual shipyard. It is a family-led business, now in its fourth generation. Many of the more than 1,000 craftsmen, about 200 engineers and other employees of Lurssen are also second or third generation family members. They are storing up and proudly transferring their knowledge and passion for their jobs to future generations. You can sense this living and breathing 'Spirit of Lurssen' at the yard every day.
