New company bridges gap from vessels to quays
Nordic Fender will offer customers worldwide high-quality products in ship and port fendering as well as equipment for transferring liquid cargo between ships, including hoses, couplings, ropes, and chains.
To run the business, Norwegian parent company Fonna Vekst has hired Sales Director Åsmund Lilleaas. He is very optimistic about the future onboard with Nordic Fender. “I am very proud of the launch we are doing now. Nordic Fender will make itself noticeable in the competition and we are very optimistic about the future within a highly exciting segment. Response time is key in this market, and we will serve our customers 24/7, with first class service and professional advice to customers all over the world. I’m convinced we will quickly establish a good customer base globally “Åsmund said.
The fender market is a highly competitive one, with many factories and suppliers world-wide. Nordic Fenders main product line, the pneumatic fender series, is in full compliance with the ISO 17357-1:2014 standard.
In addition to the office in Norway, Nordic Fender will shortly open offices in strategic locations abroad and team up with agents and partners world-wide.
Fonna Vekst was founded in the summer of 2021 by a group of investors from Kvinnherad who have in common a wish to create activity in the local community based on long experience in the maritime industry. There are now two companies under the umbrella of Fonna Vekst: Flexibridge and Nordic Fender.
