Sparrows Group has become the first authorized external service provider for Dana’s Brevini winch and hoisting products in the USA.

The agreement will see the engineering and equipment specialist sell and service Dana’s hydraulic and winch product lines and is a further step in Sparrows’ long-term growth strategy for the industrial and marine sectors.

Dana currently operates in 34 countries with 149 major facilities globally. The company’s Brevini brand designs and produces a range of gearboxes and hydraulic and electric components that are used in plants, ports and vessels around the world.  

Based in Slidell, La., Sparrows’ workshop secured the authorized service provider status after demonstrating it could meet Dana’s strict conditions of service and quality.

The facility will deliver repairs, servicing and warranty services on Brevini winch and hoist products for customers based in the US Gulf Coast area. This will include fluid power equipment such as pumps and motors, and planetary gearboxes products for winch applications.

With the advent of fuel transition, digitalization, AI and autonomy, innovation in vessel design and operation proceeds at unprecedented speed.
