MM-Offshore sets course for expansion and extends company management
The internationally renowned manufacturer of highly efficient rudder systems and
technically sophisticated shipbuilding equipment MM-Offshore GmbH strengthens
its corporate management as of 01.12.2022 and thus equally addresses the
continuous, sustainable expansion and product success since its foundation in 2009.
Hinnerk Hatecke, formerly for almost a decade product responsible executive manager
for innovative and sustainable life-saving equipment on board of cruise ships of the
Hatecke Group, will henceforth strengthen MM-Offshore GmbH as COO / Director of Operations,
while Jan Hamann continues to hold the position as CEO / Managing Owner and Helge Schmale
represents the company as CTO / Technical Director.
In the future, special attention will continue to be paid to the development and
production of efficient, innovative rudder systems and their control drives - albeit
in significantly higher quantities. In addition, the product portfolio is to be expanded
and rounded off with challenging shipbuilding equipment components such as hull ports,
tender platforms and ferry & cruise liner equipment. The 37-years-old naval architect
Hatecke brings with him extensive and valuable experience in the management,
development and series production of sophisticated large shipbuilding equipment
components, complemented by in-depth expertise in the field of alternative materials,
especially fiber composites, new manufacturing methods and hydrodynamics. The
aim is to expand the existing network from commercial and special purpose
shipbuilding to cruise, ferry and yacht as well as to expand the service and spare
parts business.
