MAXWELL
For over four decades the name Maxwell has been synonymous with the highest standards of excellence in marine engineering. By providing
superior anchoring solutions for pleasure boats, superyachts and commercial vessels, Maxwell has earned a global reputation for quality
without compromise. A reputation built upon ongoing research and development, innovation in design and a commitment to style that is
unparalleled in the industry. Maxwell has become an industry leader by analysing the needs of boats and boat owners around the world and
producing equipment that consistently exceeds customer expectation.
Maxwell Marine has enjoyed a period of expansion and broadened horizons. As a company trusted for delivering on the promise of Anchoring
Excellence, Maxwell Marine continues to supply a growing product range.
Maxwell Marine is represented by a strong international distribution network, a proven track record and a portfolio of products that are at home
on many of the world’s finest and most admired boats. The quality of Maxwell Marine products and their performance as a company is assured
by its certification under the stringent requirements of ISO9001 and CE. In addition to their head office in Auckland, New Zealand, Maxwell
Marine has a separate sales and distribution office in Maryland, USA which services North and South America. All of Australia is covered from
Brisbane, Queensland; while distributors and customers in Europe, the Middle East, Asia and Africa are serviced from Schiedam, Holland.
An extensive global dealer and service network supports these main centres.
When it comes to securing your investment, selecting the right anchor winch for your vessel is one of the most important decisions you will
make. A windlass too small for the job will not only result in frustration when the going gets tough but could ultimately compromise vessel and
crew safety. Choosing the right anchor winch is crucial for peace of mind and trouble free boating. Refer to following 2 pages for Maxwell’s
