Nautilus Rigging has signed an exclusive territorial distribution agreement with Perth’s Unirig Pty Ltd. Unirig has placed an initial order for £177,000-worth of Nautilus Hooks, but Nautilus Rigging said the deal could be worth up to £1m over two years.
Nautilus Hooks have been designed to reduce the risk of pinch and trap injuries by using a sliding lock. A new lock and handle configuration has also been used to promote rotational action and eliminate wrist strain.
“We are confident Unirig’s initial order is just the first of many as our next-generation hooks set the new standard for lifting operations across industries and across the world, and we estimate this agreement alone is worth £1m over two years,” said Bill Toon, Nautilus Rigging managing director.
“We are also already in discussion with potential distributors from a number of other countries, including the US, China, Norway, Canada, New Zealand, and Italy.”
