Netherlands-based marine electrical companies Alewijnse and Tijssen Elektro have joined forces to provide further services to the maritime community. From 1 June 2023, Tijssen will officially fall under the umbrella of the Alewijnse Group. 
"Our two families are uniting to deliver the best solutions for the yachting industry,” explained Gert Bravenboer, CEO at Alewijnse. “Fully complementary to each other, we are uniquely positioned to create value for existing and new customers. Together, we will be the go-to technology partner on all aspects of automation, electrification and digitalisation. From consulting, engineering and installation to commissioning, service and maintenance, it's a perfect fit."
“Alewijnse is the best choice because the chemistry between the companies means we speak the same language and complement each other. The synergy is great because we stop where Alewijnse starts. Our combined portfolio will broaden all at once to cover yachts from 30 right up to 130 metres. Together, we form a one-stop-shop for every kind of yacht. That way we can completely unburden our customers," added Pedro Kappen, owner of Tijssen Elektro.
