So far, so good – what about the manufacturers?
There are relatively few companies that offer oil skimmers as a standard product. The difficulty with standard oil skimmers is that oil skimmers as products cannot be developed overnight. Rather, it requires a great deal of experience in handling and the requirements that are typically placed on an oil skimmer. The use of the materials used also requires a certain amount of experience before a product can be developed that can be delivered quickly and always has the same quality.
In short:
Most manufacturers have been on the market for a long time. If not, it is questionable whether you are dealing with a well-designed product where the buyer can be sure that spare parts will still be available years later.
To summarize, the following points can be assumed:
The longer an oil skimmer manufacturer has been on the market, the more likely it is to be an established and good product.
Oil skimmers – International manufacturers
The established and long-standing manufacturers from Germany usually also have branches or sales partners in other countries. This is also a good sign, as a successful expansion of an international sales or branch network would not be possible with inadequate products.
Different regulations
On the other hand, it is difficult for manufacturers of oil skimmers based abroad to gain a foothold here in Germany. Particularly in these specialized areas, there are a wide variety of regulations, ordinances, rules and statutes in Germany, which can also vary from region to region. This does not make it easy for producers outside Germany.
On the other hand, products that meet the quality requirements of the manufacturing industry in Germany often meet the standards in other countries. This is the reason why German technology is so popular abroad.
