Cavotec MSL and Vahle Group join forces

- Cavotec MSL and Vahle Group have announced worldwide cooperation between the two companies with the intention to supply new innovative systems to the ports and maritime industry.

Based in Kamen, Germany, Vahle is the first company to develop a fully automated E-RTG entry system (see March CM) into container alleys without the need for additional manual connection to the conductor bar.

Global engineering group, Cavotec MSL has led the field in the development and manufacture of electric motorised cable reels 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.

“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 the new E-RTG system, we are able to offer customers a more complete package than ever before.”

Michael Pavlidis and Dirk Korn, joint managing directors of Vahle said, “The synergies between both Vahle and Cavotec in this important market are obvious and this new agreement will allow us to further expand our presence in the ports & maritime industry.”
