TKMS

Conventional submarines, MEKO frigates and naval electronics from Germany's naval shipbuilding group.

TKMS, formerly thyssenkrupp Marine Systems, was formed in January 2005 when thyssenkrupp consolidated HDW in Kiel with Blohm+Voss and Nordseewerke. The group builds conventional submarines and naval surface vessels through divisions for HDW-brand submarines, MEKO surface vessels and the sensor systems house ATLAS ELEKTRONIK. It was spun off and listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange on 20 October 2025, with thyssenkrupp retaining a 51 percent stake, and reported an order backlog of about 20.6 billion euros as of March 2026.
