Ned-Deck and Palfinger Marine unite

Global marine lifting, loading and handling solutions manufacturer, Palfinger, has united Ned-Deck Marine with Palfinger Marine under the new company name, Palfinger Ned-Deck.

Palfinger Marine says it has strengthened its position as a deck equipment supplier

The company says since the integration of Ned-Deck Marine into the Palfinger Group in 2010, the business area, Palfinger Marine, has strengthened its position as a deck equipment supplier in the maritime, offshore and wind industries.

Alexander Schouten, commercial director, Palfinger Ned-Deck, said: “To continue the Group’s rapid growth in market share, increase our focus on customer care and innovation through product synergy effects, Ned-Deck Marine will change its name to Palfinger Ned-Deck. The incorporation of Ned-Deck still allows us to use the great brand awareness Ned-Deck Marine has procured over the years.”

Palfinger Marine currently consists of five divisions: marine cranes by Palfinger Marine, offshore cranes by Palfinger Dreggen; launch and recovery systems by Palfinger Ned-Deck, wind cranes by Palfinger Wind and after sales and service by Palfinger Marine Services.

Palfinger says it hopes the new company name will enable the communication of a single strong brand name to the market.
