Holmatro Marine Equipment Expands Operations to the Americas

Holmatro Marine Equipment, rigging hydraulic supplier to the NYYC Club Swan 42 and other fine European-built yachts, is pleased to announce their Maryland, USA based operations for the supply and service of their wide range of rigging hydraulics and hydraulic rod and wire cutters.

Holmatro is one of the world’s leading manufacturers of hydraulic tools for rescue and industry with sales and service points worldwide. Holmatro introduced their marine equipment for sailing yachts in 2002 with resounding success. Their hydraulic rigging equipment line includes integral backstay adjusters, cylinders, boom vangs, control panels and mast jacks. In the summer of 2004, Holmatro acquired Meissner, a company well known for their line of classic winches.

Innovation, quality and service are the key elements of Holmatro’s philosophy. Their experienced team of research and development engineers thoroughly bench test all new products before conducting field trials. In addition to field tests on Holmatro’s Extreme 40 catamaran, Holmatro maintains frequent communications with sailing professionals who use Holmatro hydraulics. This feedback helps Holmatro continue their ongoing product development program, always looking forward, and striving to improve upon current designs. ISO 9001 certified since 1992, Holmatro operates a state-of-the-art facility with fully automated production cells that produce products of unsurpassed quality and functionality.

Prior to establishing a US based operation, Mac Manion of Integrated Marine Service has been providing service and support for Holmatro Marine Equipment. Mac and his years of racing and rigging experience will continue to be a valuable asset to the Holmatro family.
