ELA Container Offshore GmbH has been founded

More and more energy companies are operating offshore. Far off the coast and for several years, engineers and specialists set up wind energy plants, riggs and new infrastructure. Due to the increasing demand of offshore accommodations ELA founded the specialized subsidiary. Günter Albers, managing director of ELA Container and Hans Gatzemeier, former quality manager at ELA Container, are responsible as board of directors of the new established company, ELA Container Offshore GmbH.

ELA Container already gained diverse offshore experience within several offshore projects. According to Günter Albers the outsourcing of the ELA Offshore department was a logical consequence and a strategically important step: “ELA Container Offshore GmbH is participating in an emerging market, with special requirements for our products, assembling and logistics.” With the new subsidiary ELA will be able to response to the special requirements of customers from the Wind, Oil and gas industry.

“ELA Offshore container can be used on ships, riggs, transformer platforms and all kind of seagoing vessels, pontoons and barges.” says Hans Gatzemeier. “They differ from standard units by a special coating, adapted to the weather conditions at sea and by higher safety standards, service life, functionality and comfort.” All ELA Offshore modules are “Made in Germany” and posses the DNV 2.7-1 / EN 12079-1, DNV 2.7-2 and CSC certificate.
