Grabbed by innovation

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. But it takes more to continuously improve to develop equipment that is more efficient, cost-effective and competitively priced: our Passion for Performance.
