MJP Waterjets, the fastest growing global supplier of waterjets, wins four
strategic orders to supply waterjets to work boats in South Africa, premium
luxury yachts in Asia, patrol boats and unmanned naval vessels. The total order
value amounts to Euro 3 million and deliveries will take place in 2010 and 2011.
As a result of the strategic orders, MJP Waterjets is expected to take larger
orders in these new markets.
- The first order in South Africa is a breakthrough for MJP Waterjets in Africa.
The prestigious order for waterjets to premium luxury yachts in Asia comes from
our strong market position in coast guard and navy vessels. The strategic orders
are expected to be the starting point for larger orders in the near future, says
Hans Andersson, CEO of MJP Waterjets.
MJP Waterjets has taken a first order in South Africa to supply waterjets for a
certain type of work boats. The order is the result of a co-operation, which was
started in December 2009, between MJP Waterjets and KND, Kobus Naval Design,
based in Cape Town. KND will continue to support MJP Waterjets sales and
services on the African continent. Moreover, MJP Waterjets has also taken a
first order to supply waterjets for premium luxury yachts to a new customer in
Asia, as well as a first order for waterjets to patrol boats in a new country in
Asia. MJP Waterjets has also taken a first order to supply waterjets to unmanned
naval vessels. MJP Waterjets has taken this order thanks to R&D efforts and a
high degree of customization. MJP Waterjets has recently developed a new and
advanced concept for landing crafts, which has an emerging market, just as
unmanned naval vessels.
MJP Waterjets develops, markets and delivers tailor-made, high performance and
heavy-duty waterjet propulsion systems. MJP Waterjets is the technology leader
