The year 2016 is coming to an end, so it is time to look back at the past year. ELA Container Offshore GmbH draws a very positive balance for the year 2016. “I am very excited with what our team has accomplished in the year 2016. In addition to the realization of many small and large offshore projects as well as participating in numerous international exhibitions, we were also able to hire new employees that will be a support to our team”, sums up Hans Gatzemeier, Managing Director of ELA Container Offshore GmbH.
Internationalization
The internationalization of the company was further promoted in the year 2016. Hence, a US subsidiary, the ELA Container Offshore USA Corp. was founded in order to expand and strengthen its presence in the North American market. Headquartered in Houston, customer retention should be intensified and the expansion of the company’s success consistently pursued. “We are looking forward to the challenge and are most confident that our ELA Offshore Container solutions will be well received by our customers in the North American market. With our world renown reputation ‘Made in Germany’, we can impress buyers and users in North America”, says Daniel Melcher, Business Development Manager of ELA Container Offshore USA Corp.
International trade fair presence
A further focus of the company in the year 2016 was to participate and exhibit at major trade fairs and exhibitions. “This year, we were able to visit many international trade fairs and exhibit at leading trade fairs worldwide. We took our containers with us on site throughout Europe and the US, including Houston, Stavanger, Hamburg and Amsterdam”, says Katharina Pleus, Marketing Manager of ELA Container Offshore GmbH. “Also, the year 2017 will be very exciting since we will be exhibiting our Offshore Accommodation Containers at global exhibitions in Houston, Aberdeen and London. Hence, we are increasing our visibility and name recognition beyond national borders as well as intensifying our international customer loyalty”, says Pleus.
