Flagship: Silent-Yachts to boost global production with restructure and partnership
|
But Silent-Yachts has not proved immune from the supply chain problems arising from the global pandemic. “As with any other company, we have experienced a certain degree of supply chain issues due to the many delays caused by the pandemic. Overall, however, we were able to keep them at the minimum and have our facilities running at their maximum capacities within relatively short periods of time,” said the spokesman.
The company is reorganising into seven divisions: Yachts, Tenders, Management, Charter, Brokerage, Resorts and Shop.
Köhler said: “We are now a truly international group with diverse interests requiring more extensive resources and production space. This enables us to collaborate with other shipyards such as VisionF to assist them in harnessing solar technology as a step towards a more sustainable future.”
