Ship engine manufacturer MAN Energy Solutions has changed its name and will from now on be known as Everllence.
Everllence remains part of the Volkswagen Group, and the company’s product and service portfolio also remains unchanged.
To commemorate the occasion, CEO Uwe Lauber symbolically unveiled the new company nameplate at headquarters in Augsburg, Germany. Simultaneously, similar ceremonies were also held at the company’s other main European locations in Oberhausen, Berlin, Zurich, and Copenhagen.
The new name is derived from a combination of two English-language terms – ever and excellence, two attributes that the company believes are at the centre of its image. The first part expresses over 250 years of company history, which included many ‘first-ever’ feats from the first diesel engine to the first diesel-powered ocean-going vessel.
“Today, we are no longer known in the market for just engines and turbomachinery, but also as a supplier of large heat pumps, carbon capture and storage, as a driver of climate-neutral shipping, and as part of the hydrogen ramp-up. This is what we want to express with our new name, Everllence,” Lauber said.
The renaming is not the first in the company’s recent history, as the MAN Energy Solutions name became an heir to the previously used MAN Diesel & Turbo in 2018.
