Skarpenord AS is strengthening its commitment to the Korean shipbuilding market through the establishment of a dedicated sales office in Busan and the signing of a strategic cooperation agreement with the Korean company Robustech.

The new initiative represents an important step in Skarpenord’s long-term strategy to be closer to the world’s leading shipbuilding nations and provide customers with local support, faster response times, and improved project execution.

Busan is the center of the Korean maritime industry and home to several of the world’s largest shipyards. Through its local presence, Skarpenord will be able to offer technical and commercial support closer to customers throughout the entire project lifecycle.

Through the cooperation agreement with Robustech, a local platform will be established for the assembly, testing, and delivery of Skarpenord’s products to Korean shipyards. The partnership will enhance flexibility, shorten lead times, and strengthen local service capabilities for customers in the region.

Robustech has extensive experience in the maritime industry and will serve as Skarpenord’s local partner for assembly and project execution in Korea. The collaboration has been established with the aim of ensuring high quality, efficient logistics, and increased value creation for Korean customers.

Skarpenord is a leading supplier of valve control systems and automation solutions to the international maritime and offshore industries. For many years, the company has delivered systems to vessels and offshore installations worldwide, and South Korea has been an important market in the company’s international growth journey.

The new establishment underlines Skarpenord’s long-term ambition to strengthen its position in Asia while providing customers with even better local support and service.
