Formaco general manager Robert Heester said: “This collaboration totally fits in with our aim to offer a total package in the field of specialised heavy casting- and forging works for offshore, shipbuilding and the dredging industry etc…”

“We were missing high quality forged and processed lifting hooks and composite crane lifting blocks with a high lifting capacity. With the collaboration with the Spanish family company Irizar Forge, we can now offer this package to our customers.”

Irizar produces a wide range of forged hooks and blocks with lifting capacities up to 1,500 tonnes and a forging weight of 9,000 kg. From 2015 this will be increased to 4,000 tonnes with forging weights up to 20,000kg.
