MAN Energy Solutions turns into Everllence

One of the world’s leading marine engine developers and builders, MAN Energy Solutions, a subsidiary of  Volkswagen Group, has decided it is time for a name change. From now on, it is to be known as Everllence, a combination of two words – ‘ever’ and ‘excellence’.

The company’s CEO, Uwe Lauber, revealed the new name at its Augsburg headquarters on June 4th while similar ceremonies took place in other European locations including Oberhausen, Berlin, Zurich, and Copenhagen.

Explaining the move, Lauber said: “Our name change is the logical next-step in the execution of our ‘Moving big things to zero’ strategy, which focuses on decarbonisation and efficiency solutions, especially for those sectors of the global economy that have to deal with ‘hard-to-abate’, climate-damaging emissions.

“Today, we are no longer known in the market for just engines and turbomachinery,” he continued, “but also as a supplier of large heat pumps, carbon capture and storage, as a driver of climate-neutral shipping, and as part of the hydrogen ramp-up. This is what we want to express with our new name, Everllence.”

Gunnar Larsen, a Volkswagen board member and chairman of the supervisory board of Everllence, added: “The name Everllence underlines the company's current development into one of the world's leading providers of sustainable decarbonisation solutions. At the same time, it underlines the industrial pioneering work that it has repeatedly executed during its 250-year success story.

“With a clear focus on climate protection and as a driver of industrial value-creation, Everllence will continue to drive forward sustainability and the future viability of mechanical engineering in Germany, as well as the global energy transition,” he concluded.
