Hanse Yachts announced a partnership to expand its distribution network in Hong Kong, partnering with marine entrepreneur Todd Barr, long-standing business partner Amani Gong and industry professional Olivier Decamps. The partnership will work to build the brand’s presence in the region, a company statement said.
“With Todd, Amani, and Olivier, we now have long-term partners in Hong Kong to strengthen our market position and introduce more customers to the Hanse Yachts brand,” said Maxim Neumann, sales director of Hanse Yachts AG, in the statement. “This is another important step in expanding our presence and bringing the unique Hanse philosophy to passionate sailors and yacht owners in Asia.”
A former airline captain, Todd Barr moved to Hong Kong in 2000 and founded his first company distributing marine products. He became the authorized dealer for several international boat brands. Joining forces with Chinese local Amani Gong, who has a background in the manufacturing, import and export industry, they now service the mainland and local market as well as foreign expatriates and can offer solutions including in-house mooring and management, the statement said.
