Legendary Innovation

Since its founding in 1912, YANMAR, the inventor of the modern diesel engine, has continued to lead as a pioneer and award-winning innovator in the progression and advancement of diesel technology, engineering, and emissions reduction. From the development of the world’s first commercially viable small diesel engine in 1933 and the subsequent launch of two marine models before 1950, to the evolution of the advanced range of engines, propulsion solutions and marine systems available today, YANMAR continues to stand out with an enduring, dedicated mission to provide cutting-edge, sustainable solutions for marine applications. A landmark move to form YANMAR MARINE INTERNATIONAL in 2014, after over 100 years of innovation, created a renewed impetus within the company’s recreational marine business unit to focus on providing the next generation of engine solutions and marine systems for powerboats, sailboats, and light duty commercial vessels.
