In 2012, the PALFINGER took over Bergen Group Dreggen AS (Dreggen), headquartered in Bergen, Norway. By the time of the acquisition Dreggen had over 25 years of experience in the market for marine and offshore cranes. Dreggen was strongly positioned on the Norwegian market and supplied renowned international customers. Sales offices in Brazil and Singapore and a global sales and services network ensured that Dreggen was also well-positioned for further growth. In 2011, the company’s 75 employees generated revenue of approx. EUR 30 million.
This acquisition was an important growth step for PALFINGER MARINE’s business to considerably expand their product range. Until 2016 Dreggen operated under the brand name PALFINGER DREGGEN. In the course of re-branding project 2016 the sub-brand PALFINGER Dreggen was fully integrated into PALFINGER MARINE.
