The new office will initially serve as a sales hub, enabling Zinus to work more closely with its growing network of clients and partners across the United States and Canada. With several exciting ongoing projects throughout North America, the new location marks an important step in the company’s global expansion strategy.
“As more ports and vessels shift toward electrification, we are excited to establish a stronger foothold in a region that is critical to the future of sustainable maritime operations,” said Sveinung Odegard, President of Zinus Power LLC. “Despite some occasional hesitation around green tech, we continue to see a significant momentum here in North America. The positive side effects from going electric—both environmentally and economically are becoming obvious for all parties involved. There is no doubt in our minds that this market holds tremendous potential.”
Mr. Odegard, a long-time resident of the United States with over 30 years of experience in the maritime industry, will lead the company’s U.S. operations. His deep understanding of the market and strong industry network will be instrumental in strengthening Zinus’ North American presence.
Endre Eidsvik, CEO of Zinus AS, also shared his enthusiasm about the expansion:
“Establishing a permanent presence in Seattle is a natural next step for Zinus. The North American market is evolving rapidly, with ports and maritime stakeholders more and more focused on electrification and sustainable solutions. With Sveinung leading the way, we are confident in our ability to bring our proven technologies and expertise to a region that is increasingly ready for transformation.”
The opening of the Seattle office underscores Zinus’ commitment to supporting the maritime industry’s transition to cleaner, more efficient operations and reinforces the company’s role as a trusted partner in sustainable port infrastructure.
