Asiamarine has been appointed as the official dealer of Nimbus Boats in Hong Kong, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam.
Sweden-based Nimbus Boats was founded in 1968, and has historically focused its sales in the European market and US markets. The brand became widely known for its collaborations with tennis star Björn Borg in the 1980s. In 2018, Nimbus acquired Alukin Boats Sweden AB, an established manufacturer of aluminium boats, and Bella-Veneet Oy, with the Bella, Flipper, Aquador and Falcon brands. Brands from Finland-founded Bella-Veenet accounted for 35% of net sales in 2019.
