ADS van STIGT

ADS van STIGT, founded in 1970 and based in Gorinchem, Netherlands, is one of the leading supplier of marine and industrial transmission systems. With over five decades of experience, the company has positioned itself as a serious partner in mechanical and hybrid propulsion solutions - from fishery and river vessels and dredgers to commercial fleets and custom yachts. Their product line includes gearboxes, pump drives, monitoring and control systems, elastic couplings, and carbon fibre shafts, all sourced from trusted OEMs like ZF, Geislinger, Masson, and Katsa. ADS doesn’t just supply the parts - they maintain a massive warehouse with over 7,000 unique items, including 250+ gearboxes for yachts and smaller vessels, and more than 100 models for coasters, tugs, and working boats. If it’s in their system, they can ship it fast. What makes ADS stand out is the combination of strong stock levels and technical knowledge. They operate a full-scale repair and overhaul facility, and their service engineers are available 24/7 for clients needing quick assistance anywhere in the world. All work is backed by factory support and OEM warranties - a key reassurance for vessel operators dealing with tight schedules and tough conditions. In 2022, ADS van STIGT expanded its capabilities by integrating Verhoef EMC, bringing full electrical and hybrid systems into their portfolio. This move allows them to offer complete drivetrain solutions, including hybrid-electric propulsion and integrated automation, responding to the industry’s push toward cleaner and more efficient operations. Whether it’s a gearbox replacement, hybrid setup, or onboard diagnostics, ADS van STIGT delivers practical, engineered solutions with a results-first approach - and they’ve been doing it for over 50 years.
