Maritime Industry - The Beginning

"The political and economic transformation at the beginning of the 1990s brought fundamental changes to the market of manufacturers and suppliers for the maritime industry. On one hand, large state-owned companies were collapsing, while on the other, enormous opportunities emerged due to the shipbuilding boom. At that time, ELHAND mainly manufactured equipment as a subcontractor for the German market for one of the transformer companies. The owner of what was then still a small company, ELHAND Elektrotechnika, Mr. Andrzej Herbowski, learned from the press about major shipbuilding contracts awarded to the Szczecin Shipyard and Gdynia Shipyard. Within a short time, we received our first approval from the Polish Register of Shipping Classification Society and were added to the Makers List alongside well-known companies such as Siemens and ABB. We won these projects and gained valuable references that opened the door to other projects carried out in European and international shipyards. As a result, our facility and manufactured equipment were recognized by classification societies such as GL, DNV, BV, RINA, ABS, and RMRS. To this day, we have delivered equipment for nearly 900 vessels operating all around the world"
