Dr. Uwe Lauber – CEO, MAN Diesel & Turbo, said: “We are very pleased to prolong this deep-rooted partnership in the world’s most important ship-building country today. I am confident that our leading, two-stroke technology will continue to make a key contribution to CSIC’s attractive offering to its customers.” Klaus Engberg, Senior Vice President and Head of MAN Diesel & Turbo Two- Stroke Licensing said: “CSIC is a very important partner for us in China.

We are delighted to have won CSIC’s signature for a further 10 years, and look forward to making further inroads on the northern China market.” Besides Dr. Lauber, several other, senior MAN Diesel & Turbo staff were also present in the Chinese capital for the signing ceremony, including Thomas Knudsen, Head of Low Speed, Ole Grøne – Senior Vice President, Low-Speed Sales and Promotions, Klaus Engberg – Senior Vice President and Head of Two-Stroke Licensing, Götz Kassing – Managing Director, Shanghai, as well as other representatives from MAN Diesel & Turbo’s Shanghai office.
