Press release -

A strong brand with strong names behind – PALFINGER MARINE

From Ned-Deck Marine to PALFINGER NED-DECK

Since the integration of Ned-Deck Marine into the PALFINGER GROUP in 2010, the Business Area PALFINGER MARINE has strengthened its position as a deck equipment supplier in the maritime, offshore and wind industries worldwide. Based on these positive developments and to enable the communication of a single strong brand name to the market, the decision was made to integrate Ned-Deck Marine into the brand PALFINGER MARINE under the new company name PALFINGER NED-DECK.

“To continue the Group’s rapid growth in market share, increase our focus on customer care and innovation through product synergy effects, Ned-Deck Marine will change its name to PALFINGER NED-DECK. The incorporation of ‘Ned-Deck’ still allows us to use the great brand awareness Ned-Deck Marine has procured over the years,” says Alexander Schouten, Commercial Director at PALFINGER NED-DECK, explaining the name change.

PALFINGER MARINE strengthens its position as a supplier of complete lifting equipment

PALFINGER MARINE strives to provide customers with highly reliable, innovative and customized marine products that reflect the promise of LIFETIME EXCELLENCE. User-friendly application and functional design are the key benefits of the product range.
