"Lagersmit recognises the Russian maritime ambitions and is anxious to support the market together with the team of UMAR-WSR. UMAR-WSR represents a balanced number of highly relevant brands to our joint-customer groups. Lagersmit’s Supreme seals deliver Peace of Mind and make a difference for a broad range of ship owners and yards. We very much look forward to serve our local customer groups with the local and dedicated team of UMAR Russia and our experts from The Netherlands." – Dustin van Horik, Commercial Director of Lagersmit.

We are determined to serve the local shipping industry and with Lagersmit expertise in sealing solutions, we together, can offer great benefit to Russian customers and support shipyards through years to come." Thrasos Tsangarides, Group CEO of UMAR-WSR
