MacGregor divests Woodfield Systems Ltd.
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
CARGOTEC CORPORATION, PRESS RELEASE, 27 APRIL 2017 AT 11:00 AM (EEST)
MacGregor, part of Cargotec, sells the majority shares of Woodfield Systems Ltd.
Woodfield became part of MacGregor in January 2014, when MacGregor acquired
mooring and loading systems unit from Aker Solutions. Woodfield offers onshore
loading customers marine loading arms for fluid transfer of crude oil, refined
products, chemicals LPG and LNG. Due to the different clientele, Woodfield has
been a stand-alone brand within MacGregor.
"MacGregor is pleased with this agreement with Woodfield management who is
buying the majority of the shares of the company. The agreement supports our
strategy to focus on our core business and its development," says Pasi Lehtonen,
Senior Vice President, Marketing, Business Development and Strategy, MacGregor.
"This move also allows Woodfield to fully concentrate on their core business and
supporting their customers."
The present 60 employees will all transfer with the agreement and Woodfield
continues to serve its onshore loading customers with the high quality products
and services, as before.
