The annual awards are just one measure by which Power Equipment appreciate the tireless support and contribution of the service network in maintaining the esteem by which the Yanmar brand is recognised.

Unitech Marine Sales is located in Derwent Park, just off the Prince of Wales Bay on the Derwent River. They have been an authorised Sales & Service Agent since 2009 and provide sales and support for Yanmar and more recently John Deere marine engines and Torqeedo electric outboard motors.
