\"History\"<\/p>\n

The long history of MWM<\/h3>\n

MWM can look back on a tradition 150 years old, always guided by a mindset of innovation. By founding the \u201cMechanische Werkst\u00e4tte\u201d in Mannheim in 1871, the automotive pioneer Carl Benz ushered in the era of natural gas engines. The enthusiasm and innovative drive of engineers from more than a dozen decades have continued to yield new developments and contributed to MWM becoming what it is today, one of the leading and most renowned brands in the field of gas engines and gensets. “Engines made in Mannheim” are regarded worldwide as being among the most reliable and efficient products in distributed power generation.<\/p>\n
