Press release:
The world's leading lifter company opens an office in Spain
Say goodbye to heavy lifting and hello to Hovmand, the world leader in lifting solutions – now officially with a sales department and support in Spain.
February 20, 2025
Hovmand A/S, the Danish market leader in ergonomic lifting solutions, is strengthening its European presence with the launch of Hovmand Spain S.L.U. This expansion brings innovative lifting solutions closer to Spanish industries, supporting businesses in reducing workplace injuries and improving efficiency.
A smarter approach to lifting challenges
Hovmand lifters are designed to handle different lifting tasks across industries like pharmaceuticals, food production, and advanced manufacturing. They are simple to use, made from high-quality materials, and available in aluminium and stainless steel to suit different workplaces. They are modularly built, allowing them to be adapted to the specific needs of each work environment.
This matter is significant because manual lifting remains a leading cause of workplace injuries. According to the European Agency for Health and Safety at Work, 37% of Spanish employees regularly carry or move heavy loads, leading to musculoskeletal disorders, reduced productivity, and increased sick leave.
Hovmand’s ergonomic lifting solutions help reduce physical strain and improve workflow efficiency. By making lifting tasks easier for all employees, companies can minimise reliance on physical strength in daily operations. This contributes to fewer injuries, improved working conditions, and a more stable workflow.
A new era for Spanish businesses
Hovmand Spain S.L.U. will be led by Marc Gabarró, an industry expert with deep knowledge of workplace safety and material handling.
"Establishing a dedicated team in Spain means faster, more direct support for local businesses. With deeper industry insights, we can tailor solutions to specific lifting challenges and build stronger partnerships with our customers. This will make a real difference for companies looking to improve safety and efficiency", says Marc Gabarró, Country Manager, Hovmand Spain S.L.U.
For further inquiries, Marc Gabarró can be contacted via e-mail at mga@hovmand.com and phone at +34 608750471.
