Founded in 1898 in Oberhausen as a subsidiary of the British Babcock & Wilcox, Deutsche Babcock AG grew into a dominant force in German heavy engineering, notably controlling the post-WWII market for industrial steam boilers and nuclear power equipment. The company expanded its reach into Eastern Europe and diversified into environmental and water-treatment engineering during the late 20th century. However, severe financial crises in 1996 and 2002 forced a major reorganization into Babcock Borsig AG, followed by ultimate disbandment; most of its industrial assets were sold to independent buyers like Bilfinger, while the original entity eventually became a shell company.
