Vikingegaarden AS and Präcisions Teknik Marine merge
Two of the leading suppliers of IT-based solutions for industrial ports, bridges and maritime marking have chosen to join forces from today 16 October. Vikingegaarden AS, which for a number of years has sold digitization and efficiency solutions to e.g. Danish industrial ports, has merged with Præcisions Teknik Marine, which for 35 years has sold solutions within navigation aids to the Danish ports & waters.
The merger creates a strong company, which under the auspices of Vikingegaarden AS will gain a significant position on the market, with a focus on green conversion for Danish ports.
Vikingegaarden has developed the IT system ProPower, which is a web and IOT based solution for monitoring and data collection of electricity, water, light and heat consumption, as well as monitoring and locating maritime markings (e.g. buoys). There is a whole portfolio of products and equipment that is physically installed at the customers’ premises. With a login, customers have an overview, control and insight into all equipment and consumption in the ports.
Precision Engineering Marine has for 35 years supplied turnkey solutions within maritime marking (buoys, lanterns and beacons) for both industrial and marinas, as well as for use on bridges and equipment in sound and waters.
The new company will focus on selling total solutions for primarily Danish industrial ports within:
- Green transition – A greener environment for Danish ports
- Digitization & Efficiency – Standardized turnkey solutions within digitization and streamlining of Danish ports
- Self-service and user awareness – Subscription-based systems and solutions that are 100% self-sufficient and provide alarms if there are problems
- Maritime marking – Turnkey solutions within all maritime marking for Danish ports, straits, straits, bridges and waters
In connection with the merger, the previous owner of Præcisions Teknik Marine, Thomas Dresler, will become chairman of the board Vikingegaarden AS. As CEO of Vikingegaarden Ulrik Østergaard continues, and a new sales director has been hired as of October, Michael O. Jönsson.
“The merger of our companies has created a larger and stronger company with more resources, stronger finances and a better focus on the development and sale of digitization solutions for the Danish industrial ports. This means that we can now also target the really heavy industrial ports in Denmark”, says managing director Ulrik Østergaard.
“After exactly 35 years in the industry, I am happy to be able to announce this merger, which ensures the continuity of Präcisions Teknik Marine in the new company. I am very much looking forward to my role as chairman of the board, and look forward to working closely with Ulrik to manage the company towards its main goals for the future”, says chairman of the board Thomas Dresler.
The new sales director, Michael Jönsson, is an engineer from DTU, and has a solid background in selling complex turnkey solutions and SaaS models both internationally and regionally.
“Danish industrial ports are developing rapidly and all ports have ongoing expansions. They demand digitization and systems that can make their everyday life more efficient. In addition, they simultaneously want to reduce their emissions of CO2 and their energy consumption – as part of the industry’s overall goal. This merger enables us to fully match these needs, and we look forward to engaging as a strategic partner with the Danish industrial ports”, concludes managing director Ulrik Østergaard, Vikingegaarden AS.
