Based on the experience with pumps, several years ago KRAL was the fi rst company that launched a complete fl owmeter series based on the screw- spindle principle. Furthermore, KRAL was the fi rst manufacturer that introduced a hermetically-sealed, magnetically-coupled 3-screw pump. The Case: KRAL leads in the area of pump, fl uid handling and fl ow meter tech- nology with innovative solutions to meet industry demands. KRAL offers high quality, quick response and short lead times on our three screw pumps, positive displacement fl owmeters and fl uid handling solutions. Pump pack- ages, pump skids and compact dou- ble pump stations are often custom made to meet customer requirements. KRAL looks far beyond its own prod- uct portfolio to gain a full understand- ing of the customer’s requirements, applications and strategic plans. 400 Kelby Street, One Parker Plaza Fort Lee, NJ 07024 Telephone: 201.944.8021 Web Site: www.classnk.or.jp E-mail: ny@classnk.or.jp Regional Manager, North and Central America: Stewart S. Lee Number of Employees: 1,800 in North America The Company: The longtime leader among global classifi cation societies in terms of ton- nage, ClassNK isn’t necessarily well known here on North America’s brown water. That’s about to change. ClassNK quietly classes an impressive amount of brown water, inland tonnage as well. This coupled with its recognized leader- ship in the bulk trades makes Class NK an ideal choice to enter a local sector sorely in need of that kind of expertise. The Case: Hand in hand with its steady move into previously untapped markets, ClassNK is quietly positioning it- self to serve the U.S. inland operator. ClassNK’s expanded authorization(s) from the U.S. Coast Guard received last year are just as important. Already, ClassNK surveyors annually carry out more than 1,000 surveys and au- dits in North America. ClassNK just classed its U.S. fl ag ship. Two recent domestic acquisitions – SMS Consult- ing and Helm Operations – augment ClassNK’s already impressive portfolio. Helm is a leading provider of manning, maintenance, dispatch, and HSQE software to the workboat and offshore industries. SMS LLC formulates subM compliance solutions designed specifi - cally for individual clients. August 2014 30 MN 18-31 MN Aug14.indd 30 7/18/2014 12:55:55 PM
