“Sparrows Offshore are frequently asked by clients to supply and maintain explosion protected cranes to offshore clients in the UK," said Gordon McCombie, business development manager with Sparrows Offshore. "We identified Stahl Crane Systems as the outstanding product in the market and from that developed our position as their agents for the UKCS,” “The extension of our agreement to become exclusive agents for Stahl on and offshore in Norway is a strategic commitment by both companies to delivering excellent products supported by outstanding service.”
