Originally founded as N.A. Otto & Cie. in Cologne, Germany, in 1864, DEUTZ AG is now the world's oldest engine company and one of the world's leading independent engine manufacturers. Its core competences are the development, design, production, distribution and servicing of diesel engines for professional applications. As a full-line engine specialist, DEUTZ offers a broad spectrum of liquid-cooled and air-cooled engines with capacities ranging from 25kW to 520kW, which are used in construction equipment, power-generation plant, agricultural machinery, commercial vehicles, rail vehicles and ships.

Since 1876 DEUTZ engines have played a role in the mechanization and development of the Americas.

The first DEUTZ engines sold in the USA were marketed by Schleicher, Schumm & Co, Philadelphia. This company was succeeded in 1894 by the Otto Gas Engine Works, also located in Philadelphia. The DEUTZ engines were re-introduced to the North American market in 1951 by Diesel Energy Corporation. This company became a DEUTZ subsidiary in 1955 and its name was changed to DEUTZ Corporation in 1974.

DEUTZ Corporation is a sales, service, genuine parts and application engineering center for the Americas, supporting the DEUTZ product range of diesel and natural gas engines. Located northeast of Atlanta, GA in the US, we employ over 125 persons covering all aspects of marketing and support.
