Flensburger Schiffbau-Gesellschaft and Nobiskrug integrate management

Lars Windhorst, founder and owner of the Tennor Group, has taken over the renowned superyacht shipyard Nobiskrug in Rendsburg, Germany.

Both Nobiskrug and Flensburger Schiffbau-Gesellschaft (FSG), already part of the Tennor Group, will work under an integrated management and joined administration while operating from their proven locations.

The specialism for merchant and naval vessels from FSG will be bundled with the know-how of the superyacht builders from Nobiskrug, focusing on areas of design, purchasing and administration. A total of 645 employees will work together across locations, allowing for close cooperation to be established between the production departments.

Lars Windhorst, founder and owner of the Tennor Group, commented, “Nobiskrug and its employees ideally complement our strategy in the shipbuilding industry, which started with FSG. Our strategic goal is to achieve relevant market shares in both of these significant markets and at the same time to develop technical innovations. The progress towards zero emission is an essential topic for ship owners and shipping companies, and today we are joining forces with Nobiskrug and FSG for this purpose as well.”

Over the past two decades Nobiskrug has developed and built over 750 unique vessels, boasting excellent facilities and constructing individually manufactured high-tech superyachts starting from 60 metres (196 feet) in length. For FSG, the strength lies in the design and implementation of customised solutions for owners and operators with high expectations for reliability and optimal functionality.

Following the announcement of their collaboration under the Tennor Group, both companies will ensure that their world-renowned shipyards will continue to stand for innovative, sophisticated and efficient shipbuilding of the future.

Philipp Maracke, CEO of FSG and Nobiskrug, explained, “With the takeover of the Nobiskrug shipyard, we are positioning ourselves broadly for the future. Both shipyards have extensive know-how in the construction of specialised and technically complex vessels, which complement each other perfectly. It is the people who will make FSG and Nobiskrug strong as a unit. The mutual support in working across sites will lead to tighter relationships with our customers and suppliers.”
