Scandinavian Marine, one of New Zealand's most respected marine equipment specialists, is proud to announce its appointment as the distributor and Distributor for Allen Bros, the renowned British manufacturer of high-performance marine hardware, fittings, and deck equipment.
The partnership marks a significant milestone for both companies, bringing Allen Bros' extensive range of world-class blocks, cleats, snatch blocks, travellers, and racing hardware to New Zealand's competitive and recreational sailing community through a dedicated, specialist channel.
Natural Fit for New Zealand's Sailing Culture
New Zealand's vibrant sailing scene — from offshore blue-water passages and around-the-world campaigns to club racing and coastal cruising — demands hardware that performs without compromise. Allen Bros, headquartered in the United Kingdom and with a heritage spanning decades of innovation in marine engineering, is widely regarded as a benchmark brand among performance sailors and professional race teams worldwide.
