Inauguration of MAN Diesel PrimeServ Benelux Service Centre

24 April 2009. MAN Diesel PrimeServ inaugurated its new Benelux service centre in the Netherlands yesterday at a ceremony in Schiedam. With excellent, geographical locations in the ports of Rotterdam and Antwerp, MAN Diesel PrimeServ Benelux is well placed to offer the full MAN Diesel service portfolio to all ports in Northern France, Belgium and the Netherlands.

New location

PrimeServ Benelux’s new location improves the service it offers its clients as Schiedam lies in the Port of Rotterdam, Europe’s largest port. The move also enables PrimeServ to bring a number of different workshops, formerly based at separate addresses, under one common roof. The new premises has a surface area of 2,000 m² and will house a staff of 54, which, along with those employed at the Antwerp facility, brings PrimeServ Benelux’s staff up to 104 personnel.

During his speech at the inauguration, Dirk Willems, Managing Director MAN Diesel PrimeServ Benelux said: “By centralising all our activities in Schiedam, we are creating a synergy in our working procedures, which will enable us to focus on efficiency and quality in our service provision.

This new location confirms the presence of MAN Diesel PrimeServ in the Port of Rotterdam, one of the world’s busiest ports, and will provide a great boost to our international service hubs.” He concluded: “We are confident in our future, together!”.
