Lehmann Marine, a Sunlight Group company, is expanding its operations in the Benelux region and Norway. With new offices in Eindhoven (Netherlands) and Trondheim (Norway), the company is strengthening its local presence in two of Europe’s most strategically significant maritime markets.
The locations will function as regional sales and coordination offices. Ruben Wansink is responsible for the
Benelux region, while Ola Staverløkk leads Lehmann Marine’s operations in Norway. Both Sales Managers
bring more than 20 years of experience in the maritime industry, placing a strong focus on technical solutions,
project-based sales, and long-term customer relationships.
With an established customer base and a growing number of projects across the Benelux region, the new
Eindhoven office provides a permanent local presence to support the expanding regional portfolio. The office is situated in the historic former Philips research laboratory, where technologies such as CDs and DVDs
originated. Eindhoven is recognised as a premier European high-tech hub, boasting a world-class concentration of research, engineering, and manufacturing, particularly in the field of advanced battery technology.
Norway remains one of the leading markets for maritime electrification and alternative propulsion systems.
The new Trondheim office reinforces Lehmann Marine’s long-standing commitment to the Nordic region,
ensuring closer coordination with local customers and partners. This presence allows existing customers —
including system integrators, electrical installation companies, shipowners, and ship designers — to benefit
from enhanced on-site support, while providing new customers with access to Lehmann Marine’s safe and
compact LFP battery systems.
Ola Staverløkk comments: “Having worked for more than 20 years in maritime industry, I am proud to be part
of Lehmann Marine, a company known for its proven quality. With the Trondheim office being well situated in
the harbour area where several cruise ships arrive and depart every day, our desired destination of equipping
such big players with Lehmann Marine’s battery modules one day doesn’t seem impossible. Until then, Norway will offer us a highly dynamic environment for sustainable growth and long-term partnerships.“
And Ruben Wansink adds “It’s such an honour to work with European engineered battery technology while
contributing to the energy transition. The Benelux region is acting as a pioneer of innovation and setting
a strong pace for an environmentally conscious, green future for shipping. The Netherlands has a thriving
super yacht industry where electrification and hybrid propulsion is growing. Many shipowners operate fleets
for offshore wind, dredging and transport plus a very large inland river merchant fleet, which means that the
demand for batteries is high. Moreover, our office in Eindhoven centrally positions us at the heart of Belgium
and the Netherlands and close to technological developers.”
The Benelux region and Norway remain pivotal in driving the evolution of marine battery solutions across
Europe. By establishing dedicated local teams, Lehmann Marine ensures more direct communication and
seamless project execution for its partners. This expansion marks a key milestone in Lehmann Marine’s structured European growth strategy. As a Sunlight Group company, it remains committed to delivering reliable.
energy storage systems, ensuring project continuity, and fostering long-term strategic alliances within the
maritime sector.
