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.
