A Danish manufacturer has acquired Dorset-based Ocean Marine Systems (OMS) as a subsidiary.
Hundested Propeller has made marine equipment for over a hundred years, supplying complete controllable pitch propulsion systems, marine gearboxes, thrusters and sail drive solutions. The firm said the purchase of Christchurch-based OMS will increase its range of thruster range and hydraulic cylinders.
The former owners of OMS, Daniel Wilson, Mark Barwell and Ian Crowden will continue the management in the UK in close cooperation with the Hundested organisation in Denmark
