Alewijnse and Ingeteam target electric propulsion

Both companies see energy conversion and electric propulsion as key to a clean future. They will work closely together in offering energy efficient hybrid and electric propulsion systems, energy storage systems, electric motors and frequency drives. Digitalization and future technical developments will play an important role.

Combining the knowledge and experience of both companies will make it unique in the maritime sector. Ingeteam is a pioneer of innovative and advanced drive technologies for electrical conversion and energy which are marketed in the Netherlands through partner Remat. With Alewijnse, the technology developer has chosen a major partner in the maritime market, with broad knowledge and experience in electrification and automation.

Gert Bravenboer, CEO at Alewijnse, said: “This combination of expertise and experience allows Alewijnse and Ingeteam to offer customers a one-stop-shop for the engineering, supply, installation and commissioning of electrical technology in the field of power conversion. Our combined experience in the most complex and advanced products will ensure that customers will get the best possible service and solution. This is unique in the maritime market.

“Our ecosystem is full of challenges, like climate change and the deterioration of our worldwide supply chains. On top of that, an energy crisis is lurking around the corner, which will definitely have an additional impact on our market,” said Bravenboer.

Fred van de Ven, managing director at Remat, said: “You can no longer build a company with all the new technologies in-house. You can’t control that and you can’t guarantee it for years to come. I think those days are over. The companies that focus on partnerships will be the ones that will succeed into the future.”
