Neander Motors appoints UK and Ireland distributor

German outboard developer and manufacturer, Neander Motors, has strengthened its UK distributor network by partnering with Berthon.

Based in Lymington, Hampshire, Berthon operates a diverse marine business in boat and engine sales, both wholesale and retail, for the commercial and leisure sectors. Berthon Power is the engine distribution subsidiary and will act as the new distributor for Neander in the UK and Ireland.

Berthon Power says it will add the world’s only 50hp diesel outboard motor, the Neander Dtorque 50, to its portfolio, including stocking of service parts for shipping to end-users. Berthon’s engineers will carry out warranty repairs and aftersales service.

“The Neander Dtorque 50 outboard motor is a good addition to our product range, suitable for smaller boats in both single and twin installations,” says Dominic May, director at Berthon Power. “Diesel outboards are now accepted in the market by commercial users: diesel is more freely available on the waterfront around the UK and Ireland. Plus diesel outboards use less fuel, have wider service intervals, and last longer than petrol outboards.”

“I’m delighted to appoint Berthon as our representative in the UK and ROI,” says Neander’s global sales director, Joel Reid. “Dominic believes in the future of the diesel outboard industry and I cannot think of a better partner for the region.”

Typical applications for the Neander outboard are in the commercial offshore, military, fishing, aquaculture, rescue, and charter-marine sectors. It also serves tender boat requirements on large yachts storing diesel fuel.
