Berg Propulsion has opened new offices in Istanbul to reinforce its presence in Turkey and the surrounding region and provide closer support to local customers.
The operation is responsible for a range of activities, including new sales, contract management, product support and service. It is led by Mustafa Müslüm, who has been appointed GM Berg Propulsion Eurasia. Müslüm previously led regional activities on behalf of Berg Propulsion in Istanbul and Dubai, following which he represented Reintjes and Schottel Turkey. He holds a degree in Naval Architecture from Istanbul Technical University.
Jonas Nyberg, MD Western Hemisphere, Berg Propulsion, said: “Türkiye is a leading shipbuilding nation and its prowess in tug construction aligns closely with the investments Berg Propulsion is making in product development, production capacity and service support. This is a very important market and we are delighted to serve clients through our Istanbul office and deploy the specialised knowledge of products, experience and contacts which Mustafa Müslüm brings back to Berg Propulsion.”
The move aligns with wider expansion by Berg Propulsion, which recently appointed new managers for the Asia Pacific and Europe & Americas. regions.
Müslüm said: “I am proud to be appointed General Manager for Berg Propulsion Eurasia and to contribute to Berg Propulsion’s new market organisation. I look forward to getting to work and delivering growth in a crucial market for the company. This is a significant development for marine propulsion options in Türkiye and a further step in Berg Propulsion’s ambitions to offer close support worldwide.”
