Articles Cavotec MSL and Vahle Group Enter Into Worldwide Cooperation
Tuesday, March 9th, 2010
Cavotec MSL and Vahle Group are pleased to announce the start of a cooperation between the two companies with the intention to supply new innovative systems to the Ports & Maritime industry.
“We see this combined effort as a classic example of a mutually beneficial agreement,” said Ottonel Popesco, CEO of Cavotec MSL. “By marketing the full Vahle festoon range, and in particular their new, fully automated E-RTG system, we are able to offer our customers an even more complete package than ever before.”
Under this cooperation both Cavotec and Vahle will start to market systems to the Ports & Maritime industry in geographical regions where no prior exclusive representation agreements existed.
“This new agreement with Cavotec MSL will allow us to further expand our presence in the Ports & Maritime industry,” say Michael Pavlidis and Dirk Korn, MD’s of Vahle. “The synergies between both Vahle and Cavotec in this important market are obvious”.
Based in Kamen, Germany, Vahle is the first company worldwide to develop an automated entry system into the container alleys without the need for additional manual connection to the conductor bar. Efficient, fast and reliable, quiet and environmentally friendly are the characteristics of this new system.
The automated telescope arm is simply controlled via a touchpad in the RTG driver’s cabin; further advantages lie with the very short entry and exit times into the alley and in the low space requirements of the 2+2 power-rail assembly.
Global engineering group, Cavotec MSL has led the field in the development and manufacture of electric motorised cable reels in the ports and maritime sector for more than four decades. Pioneering electric cable reels for horizontal and vertical applications, the Group also produces a range of RTG ready cable reels and power connectors.
