Palmer Johnson to take over the Holland Jachtbouw facility
As stated by the company, the reasons for relocating to Europe are strictly commercial. Despite the US being the most important market, there is a limited network of suppliers, subcontractors and no clusters of yacht builders as exists in Europe. The company feels that there will be better conditions for them within the Netherlands to reach their production goals.
Timur Mohamed, the owner of Palmer Johnson, stated that it was a really hard decision to move its manufacturing away from Sturgeon Bay as the workforce there is among the most talented in the industry.
