2024-08-05 | LALIZAS UK Announces New Owned Offices and Warehouse in Portsmouth

We are proudly announcing our newly acquired LALIZAS UK offices and warehouse in Portsmouth.

As an integral part of the LALIZAS Group, our UK Branch offers a comprehensive safety solution for commercial, leisure and military marine markets from the LALIZAS lifesaving and firefighting equipment. Additionally, these offerings include products from premium manufacturers that are also part of the LALIZAS Group, such as, ARIMAR life rafts and inflatable boats, NUOVA RADE plastic equipment for marine use, OCEAN fenders, MAX POWER thrusters and LOFRANS’ windlasses. In addition, LALIZAS UK is the exclusive local distributor for ACR Electronics and PAINS WESSEX marine distress signals.

Spanning approximately 1,500 sq. m., our new facility is strategically located in the South of England – a vital hub of the UK maritime market.

Beyond its prime location, the facility has an expanded range of in-stock products, and a dedicated product showroom for educational purposes, providing the opportunity to strengthen long-term relationships for mutual growth. Along with the new facility, we are of course providing further training to existing staff for new responsibilities and systems. Additionally, we are looking to expand our team both operationally and commercially to enhance our customer service capabilities.

This milestone venture signifies a pivotal moment in LALIZAS global strategy, underscoring the significance of the UK market.

Stavros Lalizas, founder & CEO of the Group, commented, "LALIZAS UK has been an essential part of the LALIZAS Group for years. The acquisition of this new state-of-the-art facility underscores our long-term commitment to meeting the evolving needs of our esteemed UK clientele."

The recent appointment of Philip Kleinot as the Country Manager in February 2024 further strengthens our LALIZAS UK team. With a rich history of collaboration with the Group, Philip's expertise was instrumental in establishing and expanding LALIZAS Spain. His relocation in the USA saw him play a crucial role in steering LALIZAS / ALEXANDER towards profitability and seamless integration within the LALIZAS Group.
