PARTNERSHIP HIGHLIGHT: Tenderlift
PARTNERSHIP HIGHLIGHT: Tenderlift
Hands-On Training & Shared Values in France
At FKG, strong partnerships are built on shared knowledge, trust, and a commitment to excellence — which is why we’re proud to represent Tenderlift in the U.S. and Caribbean. Earlier this year, our Project Manager and U.S.-based Technician Mathew Erato traveled to Canet-en-Roussillon, France, for a week-long deep dive into Tenderlift’s operations and products.
“The visit was incredibly valuable — not just to sharpen my technical skills, but to understand what makes Tenderlift tick. It gave me an even greater appreciation for the product, the people behind it, and the standards they uphold.” – Mathew
From day one, Mathew was welcomed into the heart of the Tenderlift operation — meeting their team, exploring each phase of the production process, and even jumping into hands-on assembly and diagnostics. Whether working on wiring schematics, inspecting hydraulic power units, or reviewing troubleshooting methods with the after-sales team, it was clear: Tenderlift is a company rooted in innovation, performance, and care.
And the timing was special. Just days after Mathew’s visit, Tenderlift celebrated a huge milestone — the official inauguration of their brand-new 2,250 m² headquarters, built to support their next phase of growth.
This impressive new facility includes:
- A large-format powder coating unit
- Clean room for hydraulic and automation assembly
- Prototyping and testing zones
- Collaborative, wellbeing-focused workspaces
The expansion reflects Tenderlift’s commitment to environmental responsibility, built in line with RE2020 standards, and their drive to keep delivering best-in-class platforms for yachts and multihulls worldwide.
Their platforms aren’t just high-tech — they’re fully customizable, reliable, and designed to improve life onboard. From launching tenders and creating extra deck space to simplifying boarding, Tenderlift solutions are built to make boating easier and more enjoyable.
We are proud to grow alongside a company that shares our standards and vision. Thank you to the Tenderlift team for the warm welcome, and to our FKG crew for making these opportunities possible.
