Our Story

A century of propulsion, engineered for what comes next

At Berg Propulsion, our journey is guided by one clear purpose: to power progress across the seas. What began at a small Swedish shipyard has grown into a company where engineering precision and practical craftsmanship have always formed the foundation for how we work. The world around us has evolved, but our approach has remained focused: understanding real operating conditions, engineering with integrity and build for long-term efficiency and uptime.

Our Story: Shaped by the Sea Since 1912

Founded in 1912, Berg Propulsion has evolved from a small coastal shipyard into a modern provider of advanced marine propulsion solutions. More than a century of maritime experience continues to shape our way of working, combining heritage with forward-looking innovation, technology development and a commitment to operational reliability.

As vessels, energy systems and global demands have transformed over time, our fundamentals have stayed consistent. We design for real-world performance, build for durability and partner closely with our customers to ensure reliability throughout a vessel’s lifetime, not only in design files, but in daily operation.

What We Do

Today we are a leading provider of marine propulsion solutions, specializing in advanced propulsion technologies, electrical integration and energy efficiency solutions for both commercial and naval vessels. Our portfolio includes controllable‑pitch and fixed‑pitch propellers, azimuth and transverse thrusters, as well as vessel control and maneuvering systems.

We join projects early, collaborate closely through design and installation, and remain involved from commissioning through the vessel’s operational life. Our ambition is clear: to secure best‑possible efficiency, uptime and performance at sea.

Our Values, Rooted in Where We Come From

The sense of shared responsibility that characterized our earliest coastal communities continues to guide how we work today. Our values, Team Spirit, Accountability, Respect and Commitment, shape our culture and define how we work with customers, suppliers, partners and other stakeholders. These principles are practical, lived and central to the way we operate.

Global Presence

Our design and manufacturing remain in Sweden, supported by our own service and sales teams in Sweden, China, Singapore, Türkiye and the United Arab Emirates, along with a global dealer and service network.

Our Direction

Vision: To be the most trusted partner in efficient and reliable propulsion solutions.
Mission: We provide propulsion solutions and services for best overall efficiency and uptime.
