Spurs Marine ownership change

The company, which was founded in 1981, has been sold to current vice president and general manager, Pablo Sosa, and sales application engineer, Chris Jones.

Mr Govan, who is also chief design engineer, said: “Sosa and Jones make a great team. They know the marine and international shipping community and its changing needs, and our customers will be well served under their leadership.”

Pablo Sosa, who has been with Spurs Marine for over 15 years, has created a number of computerized and technical systems for product manufacturing and has helped to establish a global network of Spurs’ dealerships and distributors.

Chris Jones joined the company two years ago and is responsible for product design and installation.

Spurs’ line and net cutter systems have been designed to prevent propeller entanglement and potential oil seal failure. Approved by ABS, they are recognised globally for their ability to use opposing rotary and stationary cutting blades to sever lines and nets.
