Partnership eyes steering gear repair

Hatlapa says that its global sales and service network will go hand in hand with Loewe Marine’s international network of shipping lines, shipyards and suppliers. This means that both companies are able to provide worldwide customers with cost-optimised maintenance and repair services for steering gear and full-spade rudder systems. “Loewe Marine’s main strengths are its results-focused consulting and tailored project management services,” said Hatlapa managing director Jörg Tollmien.

The two companies expressed confidence that the resulting synergies will offer an increased benefit to their existing customers and create new business opportunities. “Hatlapa has been manufacturing and maintaining a variety of marine steering gear and systems for nearly one hundred years,” explained Loewe Marine managing director Carsten Löhmer.
