Anschütz GmbH, founded in 1905 in Kiel, Germany, is one of the oldest and most respected names in maritime navigation. Originally developed around the world’s first usable gyrocompass for ships, the company’s innovations have played a key role in modernizing marine navigation for over a century.
From early gyro technology to today’s smart integrated bridge systems, Anschütz remains focused on accuracy, safety, and efficiency at sea. Their systems are trusted by both naval forces and commercial fleets worldwide, supporting everything from patrol vessels and merchant ships to advanced ship automation projects.
In 2023, the company came fully back under German ownership, joining DMB Dr. Dieter Murmann BeteiligungsgesellschaftmbH. That change helped sharpen their focus - doubling down on product innovation, reliable support, and long-term value, without losing sight of their engineering roots.
Their product lineup includes gyrocompasses, autopilots, radars, steering control systems, ECDIS, and fully integrated navigation platforms. All systems are made to connect smoothly, helping crews work more efficiently and stay focused in challenging conditions.
Anschütz backs its products with a global network of service hubs including locations in Singapore, the UK, Brazil, Panama, and China. They offer remote support, onboard visits, and hands-on training to help crews stay compliant and ready to sail.
Anschütz is also part of the push toward greener shipping. With tools like eLogelectronic logbook and smart control systems, they’re giving operators ways to stay compliant, cut inefficiencies, and keep moving.
