We would like to inform you that the current shareholders of Maja Stuwadoors Group have reached an agreement on the sale of their entire interest in Maja Stuwadoors Group, including its subsidiaries Maja Stuwadoors, Maja Storage and Maja Equipment to Aug. Bolten, Nova Marine Carriers and Ership.
With this transaction, the Holleman family is distancing itself from the company after more than 52 years. They look back on a wonderfully dynamic time. With the new shareholders, Maja has found strategic partners who want to continue to grow together with Maja and its customers in the dry bulk sector. The continuity of the business operations is guaranteed for both customers and employees of Maja. The daily execution remains in the hands of the same employees that you are familiar with now.
Aug. Bolten is a German shipping company with over 200 years of history in dry bulk shipping. The company has a long history as a shipping company and wants to grow further in dry bulk activities together with its Swiss shareholder Nova Marine Carriers. The acquisition of Maja together with Ership fits perfectly in this ambition. https://www.aug-bolten.de/en/
Nova also owns and operates, through its subsidiary Nova Marine Carriers SA, headquartered in Lugano, Switzerland, a diversified fleet of modern bulk carriers and self-unloaders ranging from 5,000 dwt to 57,000 dwt. With approximately one hundred vessels under control, Nova specialises in bulk transport in the Mediterranean, Atlantic, Middle East and Italian/European coastal trades. https://www.novamarinecarriers.com/

The group of companies specializes in bulk port operations, shipping companies, ship operators, freight brokers, consignments, freight forwarding and customs brokers. Ership operates in more than 40 ports in the Iberian Peninsula, America, Africa and Asia and continues its international expansion with the acquisition of Maja in the Netherlands. https://ership.com/
