Italian marine waterjet propulsion system manufacturer Castoldi Srl is setting up a permanent presence in the United States, with a new office in Seattle.
Named Castoldi USA Inc, the US division is being headed up by James Langner.
“The US office gives us a firm presence in America and will reassure our customers that we have a truly global presence. It will give them the confidence to invest in our proven waterjet technology knowing that they will also receive the top quality after sales service our customers have come to expect,” Langner said.
The new office will handle all American sales across all markets, including fishing, workboats, fast ferries, high speed craft, military and shallow draft applications.
Castoldi’s waterjet drive is very light due to the aluminium alloy construction of its principal parts. It operates well in shallow waters and critical conditions due to its unique design, including all oil lubricated bearings, and because the impeller shaft rotates in a housing, and is not in contact with water.
The company will be exhibiting at Pacific Expo in Seattle from 17 to 19 November 2022.
