Lurssen has sold its Naval side of the business to focus solely on superyacht construction.

"Given today’s heightened security environment, we believe consolidation within the defence sector is both necessary and sensible," said Friedrich Lürssen, Managing Partner of Lürssen Maritime Beteiligungen GmbH & Co. KG."By selling NVL to Rheinmetall, we are laying the foundation for a capable defence champion with broad system expertise. We are pleased to have found a strong and reliable partner that can offer NVL and its employees a secure future." "It was important to us that our naval division, its technological expertise, and above all NVL’s 2,100 employees, would be placed in good hands," added Peter Lürssen, Managing Partner. "The discussions of recent weeks have shown that our companies share the same values and long-term vision."
