Market for cleantech solutions is growing
The need for cleantech solutions that support the sustainable and environmentally friendly operations of offshore, marine, and river vessel operators is increasing due to tighter legislation and increased public awareness. This increasing demand led to an increase in turnover for Evac of almost 40% last year. The acquisition of Uson Marine supports this growth by bringing in new resources and knowledge to serve customers better, it said.
Offering for small and medium-sized vessels
The Evac portfolio covers vacuum collection and wastewater treatment, dry, wet, and food waste management, and fresh water generation. »Uson Marine’s offering brings in new, compact units which are an excellent strategic fit,« says Claes Rudling, CEO of Uson Marine. He will continue in his present role.
