In June 2019, PALFINGER MARINE and Jiangyin Neptune Marine Appliance Co., Ltd. established a strategic partnership in the form of a joint venture. Through this collaboration, they founded a company called Palfinger Neptune Marine Shanghai Co. Ltd., with offices in Shanghai and Jiangyin. In a press release, it was announced that both companies signed a global sales and service cooperation agreement as exclusive distributors for lifesaving appliance products, spare parts, and services from both companies in certain sales regions, including Mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, Korea, and Japan. Outside of these regions, PALFINGER became the exclusive global distributor for Neptune products and the service partner for these products under the PALFINGER brand. So, what about service partners in Indonesia? Of course, with PT. Lintas Sinergi Andalan as the official service agent for PALFINGER products, you don’t need to worry when it comes to maintaining your lifeboat.
Felix Strohbichler, member of the Executive Board of Palfinger AG, stated that this cooperation is an important step in strengthening Palfinger’s position in the Asia-Pacific region.
“Becoming a strong partner for the shipbuilding industry in the Asia-Pacific region based on our comprehensive marine product portfolio and our global service network is one of our main objectives,” said Strohbichler. “The cooperation with Neptune, one of the leading players in the lifesaving boats and davits market in Asia, will enable Palfinger to achieve a leading position in Asia, particularly in the rapidly growing cruise ship market in China. The lifeboat and davit product portfolios of Neptune and Palfinger are highly suitable for both the Asian and global markets,” he continued.
Meanwhile, Hanshou Hua, Chairman of Neptune, emphasized that the combination of the strengths of both companies will bring significant strategic synergy.
“Palfinger’s product design for cruise ship lifeboats and tender boats, combined with Neptune’s market access in Northeast Asia, is a key component of successful cooperation,” said Hua. “Both parties demonstrate strengths in different market segments and geographic regions. Palfinger will be a strong global service partner for Neptune, and Neptune will be the key partner in the joint venture region. Through this cooperation, Neptune will become the largest lifeboat manufacturer in China.”
Through this new entity, Palfinger Neptune Marine Shanghai Co., Ltd. will serve as the exclusive distributor for Palfinger and Neptune products and services in Mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, Korea, and Japan. Outside of these regions, Palfinger will continue to hold the role as the exclusive global distributor for Neptune products. This cooperation is believed to strengthen the competitiveness of both companies in the maritime safety sector and expand their market reach in the Asia-Pacific region, which is experiencing significant growth, particularly in the cruise ship and commercial shipbuilding segments.
