Tuesday, 6th August 2024
LALIZAS UK, specialists in the production and distribution of high quality marine safety equipment, proudly announces its newly acquired offices and warehouse in Portsmouth.
As an integral part of the LALIZAS Group, the UK Branch offers a comprehensive safety solution for commercial, leisure and military marine and offshore markets from the Lalizas lifesaving and firefighting equipment.
Additionally, these offerings include products of premium manufacturers that are also part of the LALIZAS Group, such as ARIMAR liferafts and inflatable boats, NUOVA RADE plastic equipment for marine use, OCEAN fenders, MAX POWER thrusters and LOFRANS’ windlasses. In addition, LALIZAS UK is the exclusive local distributor for ACR Electronics and PAINS WESSEX marine distress signals.
Spanning approximately 1,500 sq. m., the new facility is strategically located in the South of England – a vital hub of the UK maritime market.
Beyond its prime location, the facility has an expanded range of in-stock products, and a dedicated product showroom for educational purposes, providing the opportunity to strengthen long-term relationships for mutual growth. Along with the new facility, the team is, of course, providing further training to existing staff for new responsibilities and systems. Additionally, they are looking to expand their personnel both operationally and commercially to enhance their customer service capabilities.
Global Strategy
This milestone venture signifies a pivotal moment in LALIZAS global strategy, underscoring the significance of the UK market.
Stavros Lalizas, founder & CEO of the Group, commented, “Lalizas UK has been an essential part of the Lalizas Group for years. The acquisition of this new state-of-the art facility underscores our long-term commitment to meeting the evolving needs of our esteemed UK clientele.”
The recent appointment of Philip Kleinot as the Country Manager in February 2024 further strengthens the Lalizas UK team. With a rich history of collaboration with the Group, Philip’s expertise was instrumental in establishing and expanding Lalizas Spain. His relocation in the USA saw him play a crucial role in steering LALIZAS / ALEXANDER towards profitability and seamless integration within the Lalizas Group
