NIT, the Finnish ship interior outfitter, said it has established a subsidiary company in Germany to provide support for local projects, sales and service.

Business operations started in May 2018 under the leadership of Sebastian Lagerlöf. NIT Naval Interior Team GmbH is located in Wismar, where NIT has launched a new turnkey cruise ship interior project with MV Werften.

NIT is one of Europe’s leading turnkey suppliers of ship interiors. The company specialises in the most challenging elements of a ship’s interior, such as staircases, restaurants, nightclubs and spas. The business focus of NIT is on delivering turnkey projects including all needed services, such as design, project management and installations of everything required inside the hull.

According to Sebastian Lagerlöf, NIT expects the German shipbuilding market to continue to grow strongly in the foreseeable future.

“We see positively on our customer’s perspectives, and we believe we will be able to serve them better if we serve them locally. I think that in the future there will be many success stories that we can share with our German customers.”

Lagerlöf continued that NIT is interested in cooperation with all German shipyards building passenger ships and ferries. “We will operate with flexible, ambitious and highly experienced teams in Germany. We have now started recruiting local staff who share our vision to become the most respected partner and best place to work.
