Tie-up called ‘milestone’ for companies

Bergen Engines has entered a sales and service partnership agreement with Goltens to support its marine offerings in Singapore, China, India, Germany, and the Netherlands.

Goltens will promote Bergen Engines for newbuilds, sell spare parts and perform maintenance services for Bergen’s marine customers. The aftermarket support will include planned maintenance using Bergen Engines’ original spare parts and components from Bergen’s worldwide exchange pool, which the company said guarantees quality overhauled parts ahead of dismantling, saving time and cost for customers.

Sandeep Seth, president of Goltens Worldwide, said the company has a long history working with Bergen and its engines and the formalization of that relationship will allow Goltens to increase its level of support to customers in strategic locations around the globe.

“The signed sales & service agreement between Bergen Engines and Goltens is a milestone for us,” Seth said. “We are enthusiastic and honored to have gained the trust of Bergen Engines, who have built up a strong reputation as a renowned high-quality West European engine manufacturer.”
