What IMS Industrial & Marine Services GmbH & Co. KG does

IMS Industrial & Marine Services GmbH & Co. KG is a German manufacturer-independent specialist in spare parts supply and repair services for MTU large diesel engines, founded in 2010 and operating from Dinslaken, Germany (with legal domicile in Oberhausen). The company serves B2B customers across approximately 70 countries on five continents, with a customer base spanning eight primary verticals: navies and government institutions, shipyards, railway companies, power suppliers, oil and gas operators, ferry companies, yacht owners, and independent repair shops/dealers. Named enterprise customers include Deutsche Bahn, Austrian Railways (ÖBB), and Hungarian Railways (MÁV).

The company operates three integrated lines of business. First, a spare-parts business supplying both new and refurbished original MTU components across engine series 183, 331, 396, 493, 538, 595, 652, 956, 1163, 2000, and 4000 used in shipping, railway, commercial vehicles, oil and gas, and power generation. Second, an engine-repair service performed in its own Dinslaken workshop to manufacturer-equivalent maintenance levels W6 and/or QL4, involving complete disassembly, mechanical machining of components, and reassembly using MTU original parts; engines are test-bench verified before delivery. Third, a complete-engine (Komplettmotoren) line supplying fully repaired used MTU engines from inventory with a one-year guarantee. Stated production capacity is approximately 20 engines overhauled per year.

IMS runs an enterprise field-sales model with direct B2B engagement and an international network of local partners familiar with regional procurement procedures and government tender processes. Revenue is generated through hardware sales (parts and complete engines) and professional services (engine repair), with pricing individually negotiated per written order confirmation in Euro, net of VAT, with 8-day payment terms. The company is privately held as a German Kommanditgesellschaft (KG) with IMS Verwaltungs-GmbH as the personally liable partner; Andreas Breuckmann is sole Managing Director. The company website reports 35 employees while third-party firmographic data records 14 — a discrepancy that likely reflects internal staff versus broader partner-network headcount.
