MAN AG (formerly called Maschinenfabrik Augsburg-Nürnberg AG) is a German transportation company. The MAN Group is mostly known for producing buses and trucks though the group is primarily involved in engineering activities.[citation needed] MAN specialises in:
- Commercial vehicles
- Diesel engines
- Turbomachines
- Industrial services
The company has roots that go back to 1758 where it was the first iron works in the Ruhr region. Today it is one of Europe's leading manufacturers of engineering equipment and vehicles. In 2005, its 60,000 employees generated annual sales of around € 15 billion in 120 different countries. It is continuously trying to strengthen its market presence and has joint ventures and other cooperations with local companies in India, Poland, Turkey and the United States.
MAN is listed on the DAX and is well respected in the field of transport engineering, having won numerous prizes. The latest ones achieved were in 2006 with the title "Truck of the year" and "coach of the year".
On 18 September 2006, MAN made a 10.3bn. € heavy offer for a takeover of Scania AB, one of the leading truck and bus companies in Sweden. If the merger sees fruition, they would become Europe's biggest truck maker. MAN AG bought 14,5 % voting shares in Scania AB. Volkswagen AG, Scania's largest shareholder, acquired a stake of 20% of MAN, and has applied for permission to increase to 30%. It is expected that a combined MAN-Scania will also absorb Volkswagen's Brazilian Heavy Truck operations (but not the European Van operations, which VW will retain). Volkswagen is expected to have a blocking minority stake of at least 25.1% in the merged entity.
