Nemag's Passion for performance since 1924
Since Abraham Grootveld developed his first grab and launched Nemag back in 1924, the world has changed significantly. Through constant innovation and by closely listening to and working together with our customers to create optimal solutions, we are proud that we can still convey Abraham's Passion for Performance to this day.
We are an international leader in the design and construction of four-rope mechanical grabs and rope connection systems and we've always believed in the power of innovation.

Increased production, low operational costs, enhanced safety, environmentally friendliness and reduction of the use of trimming equipment are factors we take into consideration when developing our grab solutions.
Close collaboration as key to success
We collaborate with leading bulk terminal operators, crane manufacturers, Technical Universities and other stakeholders in the industry and customers to increase efficiency and become more productive at lower costs.
Designed and validated for performance
The latest software technology like 3D CAD, Multi Body Dynamics (MBD), Discrete Elements Methods (DEM) and Finite Elements Methods (FEM) support our team of designers in optimizing your grab.
