Hempel has expanded its yacht market reach to the U.S and Canada through and agreement with SeaWide Marine Distribution.
The strategic agreement will significantly enhance Hempel’s presence and distribution capabilities throughout the U.S and Canada. The partnership opens exciting possibilities for Hempel as it looks to expand its network and market share in the region, and deliver biocide-free underwater yacht protection products to a broader North American audience.
“SeaWide are a respected distributor with a strong presence in the North American market and a reputation for reliability,” said Executive Vice President, Head of Marine at Hempel A/S, Alexander Enstroem. “This distribution agreement represents a significant milestone for us. It enables us to better serve our North American customers, strengthening our commitment to delivering exceptional yacht paint solutions. We are confident that our partnership with SeaWide will drive growth, increase accessibility, and provide outstanding and more sustainable solutions to our customers,” concluded Alexander.
“We are excited to have exclusive rights to sell and distribute Hempel’s Silic One, an innovative solution designed to protect vessels from the harmful effects of marine growth while minimising the environmental impact of the products used,” said SeaWide Category Director, Lacey Neahr. “We chose to partner with Hempel because their antifouling solutions do not include copper or other biocides, and Hempel’s proven technology reduces maintenance time and costs, and makes any vessel more efficient for better performance with lower fuel consumption.”
