LUTZ Aufzüge, based in Reinbek near Hamburg, was commissioned by DAMEN Naval to design, manufacture and install the elevators for the new German F126 frigates. The company specializes in the construction and maintenance of elevators for ships. In June 2020, DAMEN Naval received the order for the four future frigates and the project is currently in the design phase.
DAMEN Naval, a Dutch shipbuilder and prime contractor for the construction of the German Navy's new generation of F126 frigates, is working closely with subcontractors Blohm+Voss Shipyards GmbH and Thales Netherlands BV to plan and manufacture the four ships. Construction of the ships will take place in German shipyards in Wolgast, Kiel and Hamburg, and the expected delivery of the first frigate is scheduled for 2028. The contract between DAMEN and the BAAINBw also includes an option for two more frigates.
