Embracing opportunities in the growing renewables market will be “key to growth in 2021 and beyond”, according to Hendrik Veder Group.
The Aberdeen-based wire and fibre rope solutions provider is reporting increasing demand for fibre ropes thanks to the expanding green energy market, which it described as being “integral”.
Fibre ropes are eight times lighter than their steel equivalents and also have significant health and safety, sustainability and reusability benefits.
HVG also claims to be in a “unique position” to service the renewables industry owing to its ownership of rope manufacturer G. van der Lee.
The oldest family business in the Netherlands until it joined HVG in 2013, the firm produces and distributes natural and synthetic fibre rope products solutions to the offshore, maritime and many other industries.
Bertwin Zonneveld, HVG’s UK managing director based in Aberdeen, said said: “The manufacturing experience of G. van der Lee’s four centuries and our uniquely broad portfolio, offering both steel and fibre ropes, is placing HVG much in demand as a leading provider of bespoke solutions.
“The market is continuing to open up for our Aberdeen base as more and more people become aware of the positive impact these solutions can have in the renewables and other sectors.”
