Becker Marine Systems rudders
Founded in 1946 in Hamburg by a small team around Willi Becker. Main
product was the Becker Flap Rudder, at that time mainly used on inland waterway barges and tugs. In the early 70s, Becker acquired the Kort
Nozzle patents and also pushed the international sea going shipbuilding
market for rudders and nozzles. Also in the 70s Becker acquired the
steering gear business.
In 1998 Hatlapa became a shareholder, starting the successful
cooperation with Becker. Becker Marine Systems further strengthened its
position in the global marine market with the acquisition of the
Schilling Rudder business.
In 2004 the Becker Research & Development team designed the TLKSR®
Twisted Leading Edge Rudder, which became a significant sales success.
And 2008 saw the introduction of Becker's new best-selling product, the
fuel-saving Mewis Duct®.
Bövik Marin AB has worked together with Becker Marine Systems in the
Swedish market since 1977, making us one of their longest standing
agents worldwide.
