Marinevertrieb

What Marinevertrieb does

Marinevertrieb Brockhausen is a German maritime trading representative (Handelsvertretung) operating exclusively as a sales intermediary between international maritime product manufacturers and the German boat-building and yacht-owning market. Founded in 1977 and legally registered as Klaus Brockhausen EK (sole proprietorship, HRB 23206 KI, registered in Kiel), the firm is now in its third generation of family ownership under sole proprietor Klaus Brockhausen and is headquartered at Hebbelstraße 24, 24536 Neumünster, Germany.

The company does not manufacture or own proprietary technology. Instead, it holds exclusive German-market representation rights for a curated portfolio of eight maritime brands: Von der Linden (yacht construction technology), Cabin Denmark (yacht lighting), Flutech (pumps and sanitary systems), Ultrafabrics (marine performance fabrics), Ecoworks Marine (sustainable yacht cleaners), MSM PowerSailwinch (electric winches), Revotion (smart boat control systems), and Surface Decking Solution (decking). It has added four brand partnerships since 2022, including SeaDrive (Norwegian electric pod drives) and nevi - betula surfaces (2024), signaling deliberate portfolio expansion into electric propulsion and sustainable marine products.

Revenue is generated through commissions on B2B sales facilitated to yacht builders, boat manufacturers, yacht owners, and marine equipment distributors in Germany. The firm pursues a direct relationship-driven go-to-market supported by its website, email newsletter, trade-show presence (e.g., Ancora Yachtfestival in Neustadt), and membership in the DBSV (Deutscher Boots- und Schiffbau-Verband). Geographic scope is limited to Germany, with no disclosed headcount, financials, or external investment.
