maintenance and service facilities.
Lindley developed its own designs
and products for marinas, while Mical
manufactured for both companies.
In 2004, the company took its first
steps into foreign trade by establishing
Almarin, in Barcelona, to distribute
marine navigation aids in Spain. Seven
years later, as the financial crisis hit
southern Europe, Almarin and Lindley
pivoted to start operations in South
America, where Almarin won a contract
to supply and install navigation buoys
for the Colombian Navy.
Meanwhile Lindley, after supplying
its first marina contracts in Brazil and
taking on further significant contracts,
established a subsidiary in Rio de
Janeiro in 2015: Lindley BR. This led to
a major contract to reorganise, supply
and install Marina da Gloria in Rio for
the Olympic Games in 2016. At the
same time, the group invested in Salt
Technologies, a start-up specialised
in marine structure calculations and
high-resolution digital content. Salt
Lindley specialises in the installation
of gangways and pier installations for
mooring various types of vessel. This
facility was built in Tavira on the
Algarve coast, Portugal.
Technologies subsequently developed
‘Nephos’, an advanced online platform
for calculating jack-up offshore
structures.
Today, the Lindley group owners
are supported by a team of over 50
professionals, among them industryleading
experts.
