OMT set to strengthen decarbonisation contribution to the shipping industry

OMT has strengthened its ability to support shipping’s decarbonisation following the acquisition of the company in its entirety by Accelleron. OMT will continue to operate its global business independently as a stand-alone unit, retaining all employees, the company structure and the brand name. Both companies remain committed to deepening relationships and collaborations with OEMs across all business segments.
The move strengthens both OMT’s and Accelleron’s position in the development of alternative fuel technologies – such as methanol, ammonia and hydrogen – for marine engines and other large engine applications.
CEO of OMT, Klaus Heim said: "Under the new umbrella of Accelleron, OMT is in a superior position to enhance its business development capabilities and strengthen its market position in the large two-stroke and four-stroke fuel injection segment. Having had the privilege of working with OMT in the past, as well as with Accelleron as a business partner for many years, I am eager to start my new role as CEO of OMT. I look forward to leading the company's transition and driving its strategic growth in the years to come.”
“With Klaus Heim, we have gained an experienced CEO with an outstanding track record of expertise on large engines and fuel injection, who knows OMT as their former CTO very well,” says Daniel Bischofberger. “At the same time, we would like to express our deep respect for Gianni Musso’s life achievement of making OMT the highly successful company that it is today.”
Like the turbocharger, fuel injection is a critical and performance-defining engine component with intensive service needs. As dual-fuel engine installations become the standard in shipping, OMT expects significant growth opportunities, allowing customers to choose to run their vessels on alternative fuels – methanol or ammonia – as they become available on the market.
