Ellicott Dredges got its start by manufacturing the dredges. used in the construction of the Panama Canal.. “We are the only ones that have recently heavily invested in additional manufacturing capacity.” // PAUL QUINN, vice president [ BY CHRIS PETERSEN ] There’s more to being successful than simply being the ﬁrst to market, but it’s deﬁnitely a good place to start. Being the ﬁrst doesn’t automatically mean you’re the best, but it does put your company in PROFILE an excellent position to build experience and establish yourself as a recognized name in the industry.

The company is the oldest manufacturer of Ellicott Dredges. www.dredge.com | Headquarters: Baltimore NN Specialty: Dredging equipment medium-sized suction cutter dredges, having built all of the dredges used in the construction of the Panama Canal. Ellicott Dredges has built more than 1,500 dredges since 1885, serving customers in more than 80 countries. Being the ﬁrst and oldest player in the marketplace has proven to be a good foundation for Ellicott’s continued success because of the experience and expertise it gives the company over its competitors, according to President Peter Bowe. Because Ellicott has concentrated on manufacturing dredging equipment for more than 120 years, it can offer a level of service unheard of from most of the competition. “Our principal competitors are European, and we compete with them around the world,” Bowe explains, saying that many of those competitors are diversiﬁed in other areas in addition to dredging equipment. “They are shipyards specializing in dredging equipment and we are machinery manufacturers specializing in dredging equipment.” “Ellicott is the only dredge builder which designs and builds all key components of the dredging system – from winches to pumps, from excavators to spud carriages,” the company says. “This concept of single responsibility lies behind Ellicott's reputation for reliable and durable dredges.” 108 emi-magazine.com http://www.emi-magazine.com
