WORLD NEWS
Almarin buys Aister
SPAIN: Floating solutions specialist Almarin has purchased the marina
business unit from aluminium structures expert Aister.
Aister has installed over 30,000m
(98,400ft) of pontoons in 27 countries
over the past 30 years but, most
recently, its focus has been on the
design and build of high-performance
aluminium boats. Selling the marina
side of the business was thus a
strategic management decision.
Recognised for its high quality marine
aids to navigation, Almarin has been
developing the pontoon business in
Spain in conjunction with its partner
Lindley Marinas. Both strengthen their
capacity to respond to the market by
incorporating the highly qualified Aister
Mooring Post
technical staff as well as resources for
site work and new facilities in Vigo.
“The knowledge and experience
of the Aister team is by far the most
important asset we have brought
onboard. It makes me very proud that
all the staff at the marina unit accepted
this new challenge,” said Almarin CEO
Aleix San Vicente.
“Our goal is to become the leading
player in marina construction in our
territory. We have all the ingredients:
team, knowledge, product, experience
and resources to provide a first-class
service.”
