Our business has a long association with the commercial marine industry. Our HV-TURBO brand was established in the Helsingoer shipyard, in Denmark (a facility that we are proud to still be located in), while in Scotland we remain based on the banks of the Clyde and it was here that James Howden invented the force draught system, a design that would power many ships in the early 20th century. Today we continue to innovate with the development of our EGR compressors (in cooperation with MAN Energy Solutions) and our Air Lubrication Systems.

Howden direct drive axial fans are widely used in an industry that requires rugged, reliable and safe ventilation below decks including military vessels, yachts, oil platforms, cruise ships and merchant vessels.
