Nimbus Group has signed a dealer agreement with Grimstad Bådsenter AS to expand the distribution of Alukin brand boats in Norway’s Agder region.

Grimstad Bådsenter, previously a dealer for Nimbus brand boats, is now adding Alukin boats to its offerings. In 2024, Nimbus Group signed a contract with the Swedish Defence Materiel Administration (FMV) to develop a workboat under the Alukin brand for the Swedish Armed Forces. Nimbus reports that interest in Alukin’s fully welded aluminium boats has increased following this agreement.

“The collaboration with Grimstad Bådsenter gives Alukin the opportunity to reach new customers in both the leisure boat and various commercial segments,” says Jan-Erik Lindström, CEO of Nimbus Group. “After the order from FMV, Nimbus Group sees great opportunities for Alukin going forward and intends to continue broadening the market for their products.”

Nimbus Group, which recently unveiled new models at boot Düsseldorf 2025, has increased its presence in the Norwegian market over recent years. In 2022, the company acquired retailer Herholdt Andersen, which has a strong position in the Oslofjord district. In 2023, it acquired dealership rights for Nimbus and Paragon brand boats from Gressvik Marina in Östfold.

Grimstad Bådsenter, founded in 1979, has extensive experience in motorboat and engine sales and service.

In December, Nimbus announced the closure of its Finnish production facilities in Kuopio and Luoto due to the ongoing weak demand in the smaller end of the boating market.

Last week (21 January 2025), MIN reported that Nimbus Group is to sell its inventory and production equipment related to Bella and Flipper small boats at its Kuopio facility.

The agreement, structured as a combined asset and licensing deal, transfers the inventory and equipment to Cremo AB, a Swedish subsidiary of Intagagruppen. Under the agreement, Cremo is granted immediate rights to use the Bella and Flipper brands and has the option to acquire the brands after the licensing period ends.
