An Opportunity for UK Businesses
Dutch premium boat trailer manufacturer, Vanclaes BV, will be returning to the Southampton International Boat Show, 18th – 27th September, to showcase their renowned range of modular stainless steel trailers on stand P26.
At this year’s show, the company will be looking to expand their dealer and partner network throughout the UK, particularly with boat builders and retailers, by offering exclusive ‘Get on Board’ packages for new appointments.
Recent improvements in Vanclaes’ production processes have made the pricing of its stainless steel trailers increasingly competitive with galvanised steel alternatives. This has been achieved while retaining the high-quality and innovative engineering which have made their trailers popular throughout Europe, with thousands supplied to private boat owners, boat builders, blue light services and defence organisations.
The exclusive package offers available for new partnerships present an opportunity for UK retailers to add Vanclaes’ premium product range to their portfolio at an even better price.
This offer comes as Vanclaes looks to explore further opportunities to expand its production capability into the UK. Discussions with potential facilities remain at an early stage, but the British market represents an important area of future growth for the company.
High-Quality Engineering for the UK Market
Stian Duijvelaar, Vanclaes CEO, said, “Southampton is an important show for Vanclaes as it gives us the opportunity to speak directly to the UK market.”
“A boat trailer spends its life in exactly the environment that destroys ordinary steel. We believe customers should not have to replace a trailer simply because corrosion has caused it to reach the end of its life. When customers also consider features such as modular construction, independent coil spring suspension and the long-term advantages of stainless steel in our trailers, we believe the overall value offered by Vanclaes is extremely high.”
“Our package offers have been designed to allow UK retailers to bring Vanclaes to this market at a competitive price. We welcome any interested business to visit our stand, P26, or to contact us on 01243 388 940.”
Visitors can meet the Vanclaes team and view its stainless steel boat trailers on stand P26 at the Southampton International Boat Show, which takes place at Mayflower Park from 18 to 27 September 2026.
