The company anticipates pilot chair sales to exceed 500 units within the next 12 months. According to Einar Ulrichsen, CEO of Alu Design & Services AS, the chair created a sensation in the Scandinavian shipping markets and will be marketed globally within six months time. “Functionality, design and price are the leading success factors. Although the company was launched 12 months ago and the product range only this year, we have received several orders from leading offshore, ferry and merchant marine operators and shipyards. We are witnessing a growing interest by international ship owners and planning international expansion.” Recent orders include owners like Høegh Autoliners, Havila Shipping, Farstad, DOF, Trico Supply, Neptun Offshore, Tide Sjø Fiskerstrand Verft and yards /builders like STX Europe, Havyard, Maritime Montering, Mare Safety, R & M Interiors, Norac and Vinashin to mention a few. The idea behind the AluTech 500 design is simplicity, appearance and usability. The AluTech pilot chair delivers a smooth, balanced support throughout the recline, upright and forward tasking positions and responds to each user’s sitting and work style and back support needs. |
