Huisman has announced its official membership in the Port Equipment Manufacturers Association (PEMA), marking a significant step in its expansion into the global port logistics sector.
Founded in 1929, Huisman is known for its advanced engineering solutions across renewable energy, oil and gas, and civil engineering. In early 2024, the company entered the port logistics market with the introduction of automated stacking cranes and rail mounted gantry cranes, signalling a major new chapter in its operations.
“Joining PEMA aligns perfectly with our ambition to drive progress through innovation and partnerships,” said Mike van Wingerden, product director port cranes of Huisman.
“We look forward to contributing to the association’s efforts in shaping the future of port logistics and supporting sustainable development across the industry.”
Huisman’s membership will see the company take part in open dialogue with other manufacturers, share technical insights and support initiatives that promote safety, sustainability and innovation. The company says it is keen to collaborate on challenges facing the sector and to help advance terminal equipment technologies.
“We are delighted to welcome Huisman to PEMA,” said PEMA president Achim Dries.
“Their expertise in heavy lifting and offshore solutions adds valuable perspective to our organisation and strengthens the collective voice in the industry.’’
Huisman says the partnership reflects its long-term vision for contributing to a more efficient and sustainable future for global port operations.
