NMF (established in 1970) supplies marine cranes and lifting equipment in the range from small bulker cranes to super heavy lift cranes (1 000 tons). The company is the market leader for heavy-lift cranes (more than 150 tons) with more than 60% market share. NMF is also supplier of offshore heavy-lift cranes for the windmill industry. NMF designs, develops and manufactures the cranes with a workforce of 130 employees in rented premises in Hamburg.

NMF will become part of TTS existing activities in Germany, where the existing turnover is in the range of 750 MNOK (100 MEUR). NMF’s product range is complementary to TTS’ existing range. The synergies between TTS and NMF are considerable, especially within sales and marketing, service and manufacturing.

The purchase of NMF further strengthens TTS Group’s market position for marine and offshore cranes.
