Optimarin expands Iberian sales potential

“Our system is well-suited to the client profile in the markets served by Llalco so this is a perfect fit. The agreement gives us a strong regional presence backed by Llalco’s well-established reputation in these markets,” he added.

Llalco Fluid Technology was founded in 1997 and has a strong track record in delivering a range of marine technologies including ballast water treatment, corrosion protection and scrubbers. It is also a supplier to the rail industry.

Llalco chief executive Javier Llamas sees the partnership with Optimarin as a significant upgrade on Llalco’s product and service offering in the area of ballast water treatment, having introduced the first such solution into the Spanish market 15 years ago.

“I wish to thank Optimarin for giving us this new opportunity,” he said. “Llalco has now gained a world-leading ballast water treatment system supplier and aligned with our own marketing expertise, this creates a strong team with a firm foundation for future sales growth.

He added, “We are confident that, with the approaching IMO deadline for compliance, this partnership has been forged at the right time to promote the Optimarin BWTS to a wider market given the high demand for efficient and well-functioning systems for ballast water treatment.”
