Berliner Maschinenbau

After a fire in 1860 and the expansion of the factory, they started to manufacture turntables, water systems and turnouts for several railway companies.

The first locomotive built by the firm was delivered on 1 February 1867 to the Lower Silesian-Mark Railway (Niederschlesisch-Märkische Eisenbahn or NME).

From 1899 the company also manufactured Linotype machines for the Mergenthaler factory in Berlin.

In 1961 the tractor firm of Moorburger Treckerwerke was bought and its production changed.

In 1966 the Berliner Maschinenbau was merged into the DIAG, the Deutsche(n) Industrieanlagen Gesellschaft mbH.
