MAN Diesel and Turbo's service division, PrimeServ, has officially opened a centre in Las Palmas at the beginning of October in the Canary Islands.
Despite the official opening, PrimeServ Las Palmas has been open for business since the beginning of 2010, and has been transporting guests to its new facilities aboard a catamaran powered by MAN engines to demonstrate how customers can berth vessels right in front of its premises.
"MAN Diesel and Turbo's is trying to move closer to its customers through continued, global expansion of the MAN PrimeServ network," said the company in a statement.
The origins of the Las Palmas office can be traced back to 2005 when MAN Diesel and Turbo established a working group tasked with improving the quality of service to Spanish customers.
The group's study of Spanish goods and ship movements led to the establishment of PrimeServ Valencia. That hub, inaugurated in 2008, is located just 20 minutes from the port of Valencia and 30 minutes from the port of Sagunto – both busy ports on Spain's eastern coast, while the opening of Las Palmas represents the next element in the company's Spanish strategy.
