Liebherr-Components partners with Asian distributor

At SMM 2026 in Hamburg, Germany, last week, Liebherr signed a cooperation agreement with Twinco Pte. Ltd., a specialist in ship maintenance and repair of diesel engine components. The event marks Liebherr-Components’ first partnership with an independent aftermarket distributor for its fuel injection components in Asia.

Based in Singapore, and a member of the Italian-based Zephyr Group, Twinco has a strong presence across the Far East and Pacific markets, as well as the Middle East. It has supplied European engine components and technical solutions to maritime and industrial customers for more than three decades. It also actively works together with its sister companies Skandiaverken in Spain, PK OEM Parts in the Netherlands, Carl Baguhn Hamburg in Germany and Carl Baguhn Barranquilla in Colombia.

With the signing of the cooperation agreement, Liebherr-Components Deggendorf GmbH appoints Twinco as its regional distributor in Asia for fuel injection components used in maritime and industrial engine applications. Twinco will support Liebherr in gaining broader and faster access to the aftermarket, leveraging an established network of end customers and service workshops already sourcing maritime engine spare parts from the Twinco and Zephyr Group stock and supply platform.

According to the companies, the agreement will combine Liebherr’s technology and manufacturing expertise with Twinco’s aftermarket presence, stock availability and Zephyr Group’s global network, with the objective of making Liebherr fuel injection components and related services more readily accessible to engine operators worldwide.

“Zephyr Group is a leading global independent provider of spare parts, workshop and onsite services for large maritime-type engines. Its international footprint and consolidated global customer base will further support the partnership with Liebherr beyond Twinco’s core Asian markets,” said Olav Altmann, managing director at Liebherr-Components Deggendorf GmbH.
