However, after gaining numerous customers nearby as well as on the North and Baltic Sea coasts, Erik Karberg and Walther Schmitz decided to found the company Karberg & Schmitz in 1960.

Shortly afterwards came representation of other manufacturers and their products for use in ship engine rooms. With this both founders laid the foundations for the course of today’s old-established trading and engineering house.

Karberg & Schmitz offers you extensive services: From planning, consulting and engineering of system solutions through to support when it comes to processing and care within the guarantee period. At Karberg & Schmitz you also receive support for worldwide repairs and spare parts services.
