Sinwa Group acquires compatriot Francois Marine & Offshore

Sinwa Group has acquired offshore marine supplies, logistics and supply chain management specialist Francois Marine & Offshore from Northern Marine Group.

The merger between the two major marine, offshore supply, and logistics businesses will see Sinwa Group expand its operations and capabilities to support a growing global client base.

Sinwa bought Francois Marine & Offshore’s Asian ship supply, logistic operations, and infrastructure in Singapore, Hong Kong, China, and South Korea. The acquired company will continue under the brand Francois Marine & Offshore.

It is worth noting that the acquisition of Francois Marine & Offshore does not include the subsidiary Francois Marine BV in Rotterdam, nor Francois Offshore Catering.

“The addition of Francois Marine & Offshore, a significant regional marine supply provider with great pedigree and vast sector experience, further evidences our ambition to build upon Sinwa Group’s position as the regional market leader in our field,” Thomas Zimmerhaeckel, Sinwa chairman and managing partner at Asean Strategic Partners, said.
