Falk To Market

Masson Marine Drives —Literature Available

An agreement to market Masson marine gear drive products has been signed by the Falk Corporation,

Milwaukee, Wis., and Society Euro- peenne D'Engrenages (S.E.E.),

Saint-Denis-Les-Sens, France, manufacturer of Masson products.

The agreement, announced at the

Fish Expo conference in Boston,

Mass., designates Falk as the exclu- sive distributor of Masson products

December, 1986 in North and South America.

Masson marine propulsion gear drive units are used with engines in the 150 to 2,000 hp range. Falk has long been a dominant factor in the market for applications above 1,500 hp. The agreement also covers re- placement parts and calls for Falk to fully service the product line. "This new agreement will not only help us better serve Falk's present customer base, but will en- able us to serve new segments of the marketplace as well," said Peter

Kriesels, marine sales manager,

Falk Corporation.

Marketing of the Masson trade- mark will give Falk the capability to provide full propulsion gear drive packages from 150 to 7,000 horse- power. The company can also cus- tom design a system for horsepower ranges beyond 7,000 hp. "This agreement represents an in- creased commitment by the Falk

Corporation to service the require- ments of the marine industry," Mr.

Kriesels said. "We are now able to provide fully system-engineered drive packages including drives, controllable pitch propellers, cou- plings, bow thrusters, winches, and even custom steel castings."

The Falk Corporation, a subsid- iary of Sundstrand Corporation, produces an extensive line of gear drives, shaft couplings, backstops, and fluid power drives.
