What KenzFigee does

KenzFigee is a privately held Dutch manufacturer of custom cranes, hoists, and lifting equipment serving the marine, offshore oil and gas, wind energy, and naval/defense markets. The company designs, engineers, manufactures, tests, and services its equipment in-house from its headquarters and quayside workshop in Zaandam, with a branch office in Aberdeen serving the UK. The product portfolio centers on three lines: (1) Offshore & Marine Cranes — Boom Hoist, Knuckle Boom, and Ram Luffing pedestal cranes with SWL from roughly 3t to 400t; (2) Up-Tower Cranes — a modular family of zero-emission, nacelle-mounted cranes (TeleHook 0.87mT, Heli-Hook 3mT, GenHook LT 10mT, GenHook 30mT, RotorHook 80mT, BoxHook 85-130mT) for wind-turbine major component exchange; and (3) Custom Made Lifting Equipment — pipe-handling gantries, A-frames, motion-compensated gangways and walk-to-work systems, subsea tools, and tensioners. Technology differentiators include Active Heave Compensation (AHC), Electric LARS systems, Containerized transport, and Wind-Turbine Backfeed-power integration.

Revenue is generated through project-based hardware sales of new-build cranes and equipment, complemented by aftermarket streams including TotalCare managed-service packages, spare parts, crane upgrades/refurbishment, and training. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales supported by a UK subsidiary (Aberdeen) and channel partners covering Asia Pacific (Singapore), China (Tianjin), and the Middle East (Abu Dhabi, Saudi Arabia). The customer base spans offshore wind developers and EPCs (Vattenfall, RWE, ScottishPower Renewables, Aker Solutions), vessel owners and offshore service contractors (Heerema, Subsea7, Cadeler, Seajacks, POSH, Fugro, Spliethoff), oil and gas operators (Shell, BP, Repsol Sinopec, Dana Petroleum), and defense organizations (UK MoD, Royal Australian Navy). The company is majority-owned by MeeMaken B.V. since 2016, operates with approximately 90 professionals, and holds certifications across DNV, ABS, Lloyd's Register, ISO 9001:2015, and VCA**.

Broad incumbents

• Mammoet: Heavy lifting and engineered transport specialist serving offshore wind, O&G, and modular construction. Not a crane OEM but competes for the same end-customer maintenance and installation budgets and is increasingly present in turbine major-component exchange.
• National Oilwell Varco (NOV): Large diversified oilfield equipment supplier with offshore and marine crane offerings sold alongside drilling, production, and subsea packages. Competes for the same offshore-platform and FPSO crane contracts as KenzFigee but bundles cranes into much larger subsea/ production systems.
• Terex Corporation: Global crane and aerial-work-platform manufacturer (Tadano, Demag, Genie brands) with smaller offshore/marine exposure. Competes with KenzFigee mainly on industrial, port, and harbor cranes as well as certain offshore pedestal crane tenders for less-demanding duty classes.
• Liebherr: Sister division Liebherr Maritime Cranes (Rostock) is a global incumbent in offshore, ship, and port cranes with far larger production capacity and service network. Competes directly with KenzFigee on offshore pedestal cranes for wind and O&G vessels but covers a much broader product portfolio.
• Sarens: World's largest heavy-lifting contractor with substantial modular crane fleet and offshore-wind installation services. Adjacent competitor — overlaps with KenzFigee where customers outsource installation rather than buy equipment, and increasingly competes for offshore-wind major-component exchange contracts.
• Cargotec (MacGregor): MacGregor (Cargotec) supplies marine cranes, load-handling systems, and offshore access solutions alongside a broad cargo and load-handling portfolio. Overlaps with KenzFigee in offshore cranes and Walk-to-Work access products through shared end-customers (vessel owners, wind developers).

Direct peers

• Huisman Equipment B.V. Schiedam, NL-based manufacturer of heavy-lifting offshore cranes, including knuckle boom, ram luffing, and active heave-compensated pedestal cranes for marine, wind, and subsea markets. Closest comparable peer to KenzFigee — overlapping product portfolio, customer base, and Dutch manufacturing footprint with quayside assembly.
• TTS (Torgvald Svenberg AB / part of Cargotec - MacGregor): Specialist in offshore and subsea cranes (formerly TTS-NMF, now MacGregor Offshore Cranes) supplying AHC and knuckle-boom cranes for OSVs, W2W, and offshore wind installation vessels. Direct product overlap with KenzFigee's offshore and marine crane portfolio.
• BLM Group (Brisson Castro): Italian specialist in offshore cranes (knuckle boom, ram luffing, AHC) for marine and offshore markets. Direct product-line competitor to KenzFigee across European offshore-wind and O&G vessel newbuilds.

Emerging players

• A1 Offshore Solutions: Danish operator of Walk-to-Work vessels (e.g., Notus Express) using KenzFigee's 3D Active Motion Compensated gangway. Adjacent ecosystem participant — competes with KenzFigee's own Walk-to-Work offering on certain tenders, while also being a customer on others.
