Michigan, USA based Lasdrop Shaft Seals, have made a distribution agreement with Allpa Marine Equipment, part of the Mercator Marine Group, to supply Lasdrop’s range of high-performance dripless propeller shaft seals throughout Germany & the Benelux region.
Lasdrop’s CEO, Kyle Mosher commented “Our European Distribution network is expanding well as distributors see the value in having a manufacturer that offers BOTH mechanical face seals, and lip seals. Lasdrop is leveraging almost 50 years of longevity and is an industry leader in marine shaft seal design and development. We already have a top-quality network to support parts of Europe, and this appointment further strengthens our presence in such an important market”.
Jarno Berkhof, CEO for Mercator Marine Group said “Finding the Lasdrop Shaft Seal brand which offers both mechanical & lip seal options and has such a long and successful history was a great achievement and will be an excellent addition to our portfolio. With stock already on its way to us, we are well timed for the 2025 season for both the OEM and the aftermarket sectors. We will showcase the product at the Dusseldorf Boat Show in January where we are looking forward to introducing Lasdrop to our customers”.
