Global industry body for port equipment and technology, the Port Equipment Manufacturers Association (PEMA), has announced three new member companies: Paceco Corp, Kranunion GmbH & Co and Römer Fördertechnik GmbH.
Almost 40% of the container quay cranes in the world carry the Paceco Corp brand.
Paceco Corp also develops and manufactures custom software and electronic hardware for advanced automation in marine terminals, including driver display systems, optical character recognition (OCR) systems, and various equipment safety systems using sonar and laser technology.
