Raytheon Anschütz is Anschütz again

Gepostet von | 1 Mar 2023 | , , , | 0

The name Anschütz has stood for expertise in ship navigation for over a hundred years. Now the Kiel-based company has a new owner in DMB Beteiligungsgesellschaft mbH.

Anschütz is thus returning to a German owner and to the traditional company name with which the company has produced numerous innovations since 1905 and has become a well-known name in the German market.
