At the same time, the company will start manufacturing marine pump units in Wakefield, UK. The company say that these are key initiatives towards the company\u2019s planned expansion in the marine segment.<\/p>\n
The centre of expertise will be located in Arendal, an area with an existing cluster of marine companies. Arendal also has a university that offers training in H\u00e4gglunds Drives\u2019 technology areas, providing an excellent recruitment base.<\/p>\n
H\u00e4gglunds has purchased premises and commenced recruitment procedures. The centre will support the company’s global sales organisation, develop its marine expertise and improve customer service.<\/p>\n
At the same time, H\u00e4gglunds Drives will begin its own production of marine pump units in Wakefield, UK.<\/p>\n
These two initiatives will enable H\u00e4gglunds Drives to take on more, larger orders and offer customers one-stop-shop solutions.<\/p>\n
\u201cA rise in global trade and increased energy production is leading to increased demand for our products. What\u2019s more, a lot of our marine equipment is outmoded and needs upgrading. Another demand-raising factor is that winches are becoming larger and larger. With our newly developed product range, we can offer the perfect drive systems for larger winches \u2013 so this initiative will make us an even better partner for winch manufacturers,\u201d says Lars G\u00f6ran S\u00f6derlund, business area manager at H\u00e4gglunds Drives.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
