Nanni Industries has appointed MAN Rollo as its official distributor for yacht and marine products in the Netherlands, widening the French engine maker's European network.
Based in Zoetermeer, MAN Rollo brings more than 100 years' experience distributing MAN solutions across Europe and the United Kingdom, giving Nanni an established partner in a market it wants to grow.
The distributor is part of the Zeppelin Group, which operates in 29 countries with more than 12,000 staff and is known for its work across diesel, gas and hydrogen engines, combined heat and power systems, and generator sets.
Gregorio Passani, Chief Business Officer of Nanni, said the tie-up reflected shared ambitions. "The development of our international network relies on strong partners who can provide technical expertise and local support. We share the same ambition with MAN Rollo: to offer reliable, innovative, and high-performance solutions that provide long-term support to professionals in the maritime sector."
MAN Rollo will focus on the yacht, superyacht and commercial vessel segments in the Netherlands, handling Nanni's marine generator ranges.
That starts with the Q4500 and Q6800, which deliver between 45 and 125 kW and use Soundless technology for quiet running. Built on John Deere platforms, those units are aimed at superyachts and commercial vessels.
At the larger end sit the Q12000, Q24000 and Q30000 ranges, offering outputs from 277 to 960 kW. Built on MAN engine platforms, they're pitched at megayachts and heavier commercial vessels, including Ro-Pax ferries and transport ships.
Michel van Gulik, General Manager of MAN Rollo, welcomed the addition. "Nanni is a respected brand that perfectly complements our existing offering and reinforces the quality, reliability, and technical expertise our customers expect from MAN Rollo. By adding Nanni's generator solutions, including products based on both John Deere and MAN technology, we can provide our customers with an even more comprehensive and future-ready portfolio for the maritime industry."
The partnership is expected to strengthen local technical support and improve access to Nanni's power generation range across the Netherlands.
