Transmission company on show in Amsterdam

Newage Transmissions is aiming to build on recent export successes through its participation at Europe's premier marine equipment exhibition, METS 2001, which takes place in Amsterdam between 13th-15th November. The company's presentation on Stand 10.10522 will feature examples from its full range of high efficiency PRM series marine transmissions. Models on show will include PRM 80, 120 and 150 units, designed for the rapidly-expanding pleasure craft and light commercial market; heavy duty PRM 750 workboat transmissions; and the company's top-of-the range PRM 1500 gearboxes for use with engines rated at up to 500hp.

In addition, Newage will be highlighting its series of ancillary marine equipment, including trolling valves and power take-off units.

"PRM units are already the gearboxes of choice for the overwhelming majority of Britain's inland waterway craft, with more than 80 per cent market share," says Marine Sales Manager, Ian Oliver.

"Their reputation for durability, reliability and in-service performance has seen them specified for an increasingly diverse range of applications over recent months, from pleasure craft to fishing vessels and passenger ferries.

"As one of the most important shows on our exhibition calendar, METS 2001 provides us with the ideal opportunity to further develop our overseas marine equipment sales."
