Palfinger has opened a new site in Perth, Western Australia. The company is strengthening its local presence in the marine segment. It is the first official Palfinger site in the Australian and New Zealand area in addition to two long-term business partners for marine solutions in Brisbane and Auckland.
The company’s commitment in maritime and offshore market is reflected in the opening of its first office in Australia, located in Perth – a hub for companies in the offshore and oil & gas sector. Specialized in lifesaving appliances (LSA) such as free-fall and conventional lifeboats, Palfinger Marine’s new location in Western Australia provides various service solutions as well as new equipment for offshore, oil & gas and cruise.
“As a provider of complete solutions, Palfinger is constantly driving forward its own market positioning. We want to be as close to the customer as possible. That is why we are increasing our presence in regions such as Australia to focus even better on the specific needs of our local customers and partners. With more than 25 brands, we are uniquely positioned as an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) providing multi-brand-service with extensive know-how and expertise in that region. By opening the new office in Perth, we are expanding our partnerships in Australia and further strengthening our position in the market,” says Gerhard Sturm, Senior Vice President Global Sales & Service at Palfinger.
New site for premium service
Palfinger chose Perth as the location for the new office due to the presence of major companies in the offshore, oil & gas industry in the region. As the demand for an OEM of lifesaving appliances in the region was so high, Palfinger has specialized in this product group at the new office.
Thanks to the new office, Palfinger, will be able to satisfy the needs of the custumers faster and with more efficient responses. Furthermore, the new site is aligned with Palfinger’s future goals.
At this year’s AOG Energy Exhibition from March 13-15 in Perth, Palfinger will be connecting and exchanging with major industry players about the future of the dynamic energy sector.
