1. Fr. Lürssen Werft GmbH & Co. KG: 1.1 billion euros turnover
Fr. Lürssen Werft is one of the few German shipyards that has successfully stood the test of time. The shipyard’s history began in 1875 with a boatbuilding workshop founded by Friedrich Lürßen in the Bremen suburb of Aumund. Today, the company is run by the fourth generation of the founder’s descendants. The Lürssen business rests on two pillars: the production of large yachts and the construction of naval vessels. Lürssen builds warships up to frigate size – for the German Navy and for export. In 2016, the traditional Hamburg shipyard Blohm+Voss was acquired. In 2021, the naval business was spun off into the Naval Vessels Lürssen Group (NVL Group), which remains part of the Lürssen Group.
