System integrator Alewijnse and Van Meer, a specialist in drive systems, have joined forces. The companies are collaborating to accelerate the development and integration of hybrid and electric drive systems within the maritime value chain.
The partnership was officially formalised on 5 November during the Europort exhibition at Ahoy Rotterdam. Together, the companies are offering solutions for all types of projects in the maritime and industrial sectors.
Energy generation, storage, distribution, and conversion will play a key role in achieving climate targets. Alewijnse and Van Meer will work closely together in developing and offering hybrid and electric drive systems as well as energy storage installations, with digitalisation and innovative technologies acting as important drivers.

Accelerating innovations
The signing of the framework agreement marks the start of an intensive collaboration focused on accelerating sustainable innovations within the maritime sector.
Mischa Habermehl, Solution Manager Power Conversion at Alewijnse: ‘Alewijnse and Van Meer share the same DNA. We are moving from transactional to transformational approaches. We create value through knowledge sharing and practical innovation. As partners, we strengthen each other: one plus one equals three. We accelerate without compromising quality, standardise processes, and reduce risks through modelling and simulation in the pre-engineering phase.’
