Nimbus Boats has acquired aluminum boat manufacturer Alukin Boats Sweden AB.

“Despite the current situation, we are looking forward positively and have a strong belief in the aluminum boat segment for the Nordic region and new markets for Alukin,” says Nimbus CEO Jan-Erik Lindström.

“With Alukin we supplement our brand portfolio with premium class boats for both work and leisure. This means we are strongly equipped for the future and together with the other Nimbus Group brands we can offer boats that cover all central needs.”

Full Owner

Nimbus became a part-owner of Alukin in January 2018. During the financial crisis of 2007/08, the founders, Peter and Maria Nikula, invested in the company and the production of fully welded aluminum boats, according to International Boating Industry.

“We have worked with Nimbus since 2018 and we see many benefits from this, not least for Alukin’s users and new boat owners, which thus makes it easier to see, test drive and buy our boats via Nimbus’ network of dealers,” says Maria Nikula, CEO of Alukin Boats Sweden AB.

Nimbus builds fiberglass center-consoles and tenders.

The aim is to further continue the development and refinement of the model program. Alukin’s new bowrider, the Alukin DP 650, was launched at the Stockholm and Gothenburg shows earlier this year.
