Product offeringCore offering
August Storm GmbH & Co. KG is an OEM-independent service provider for internal combustion engines in the 100 to 7,000 kW performance range. The company delivers engine maintenance, repair, overhaul, and component manufacturing across stationary energy systems, marine engines, construction machinery, locomotives, special-purpose vehicles, and industrial systems, alongside spare parts supply and reconditioned components through five specialised service brands (ECO*S*, MOBI*S*, PRODI*S*, IQ-PARTS*, RE*CON*).
Product overview
Storm (August Storm GmbH & Co. KG) is an OEM-independent service company for internal combustion engines, operating five interlinked service brands rather than a single unified software platform. The five brands — ECO*S* (stationary energy/CHP systems), MOBI*S* (mobile and marine power systems), PRODI*S* (mechanical machining and compressor systems), IQ-PARTS* (spare parts supply), and RE*CON* (reconditioned engines and components) — collectively cover the full lifecycle of combustion engines from 100 to 7,000 kW. The brands are structurally differentiated by market specialization but share a common service network, quality certifications, and 350 employees across 14 branch and service locations.

Storm competitors and assessment
Company assessmentBroad incumbents
- Wärtsilä Services: Wärtsilä operates one of the world's largest marine and energy engine service networks, offering lifecycle services, overhaul and digital monitoring for large combustion engines — directly comparable to Storm's MOBI*S* and ECO*S* offerings but at global scale.
- Deutz AG: Deutz AG manufactures and services diesel and gas engines for automotive, industrial, and stationary applications across Europe, with its own service network overlapping Storm's stationary and mobile engine business.
- Caterpillar Marine: Caterpillar's marine and industrial power division sells and services large diesel engines globally through a dealer/service network, competing directly with Storm's mobile/marine engine service capability.
- MAN Energy Solutions: MAN Energy Solutions manufactures large two-stroke and four-stroke marine and power plant engines and provides aftermarket service worldwide — a key competitor in the engine overhaul and spare parts market Storm serves.
- Rolls-Royce Power Systems (MTU): MTU is a major OEM of large diesel and gas engines for marine, rail, stationary power and industrial use, and runs its own authorised service network — overlapping directly with Storm's authorised MTU partner business and engine overhaul scope.
Direct peers
- Wulf Johannsen KG GmbH & Co. A family-owned fourth-generation marine engine service company based in Kiel that operates as Storm's partner/service branch in Hamburg/Kiel — overlapping marine engine service scope and target customers within the same DACH region.
- Scania Industrial & Marine Engines: Scania supplies and services industrial and marine engines through a partner network in Europe; Storm is a Scania service/sales partner, but Scania's broader service organisation competes for the same mobile/marine customers.
Regional players
- Pon Power (Caterpillar dealer): Pon Power is Caterpillar's authorised dealer for marine and industrial engines in the Netherlands and parts of Europe, providing sales, service and parts — directly comparable to Storm's Dutch operations (August Storm B.V.) in Hendrik Ido Ambacht and Groningen.
Others
- Bosch Large Engine Service Partners: Bosch operates a global authorised service partner network for large engine injection components; Storm is a Bosch certified partner, but other Bosch partners in Europe compete for the same injection system service and parts work.
- Gütegemeinschaft der Motoreninstandsetzungsbetriebe e.V. members: The German engine reconditioning quality association of which Storm is a RAL-GZ 797 certified member — its network includes dozens of independent German engine rebuild shops that compete with Storm's PRODI*S* machining and RE*CON* reconditioned components.
