ALMACO Group is delighted to announce the appointment of Peter Melander as President of its newly renamed EPC (Engineering, Procurement & Construction) Division, previously known as the Accommodation Systems Division. Peter brings extensive experience and a strong history in leadership, sales, and innovation within the maritime industry. 

Peter Melander joins ALMACO from his previous role at Alandia Engineering, where he served as Chairman and CEO.

His extensive background and strategic vision will be instrumental in driving ALMACO’s EPC Division forward. 

Increased focus on Major Projects, Modernizations, and Full Turnkey Solutions 

With the cruise modernization market booming, ALMACO is placing increased emphasis on major conversions and modernizations of complete hotel areas on passenger ships. Hence, the renaming and new strategic focus of ALMACO’s EPC Division, formerly called the Accommodation Systems Division. 

Peter Melander’s location in Florida, a key hub for the maritime industry and the cruise market, aligns perfectly with this strategic focus. His presence in the region will enable ALMACO to better serve its clients and meet the growing demand for conversions and modernization services. 

ALMACO is renowned for its expertise in handling major projects and offering full turnkey solutions. The company is committed to delivering comprehensive services that encompass every aspect of projects, from pre-development, design and engineering to installation and full turnkey lifecycle services and digital solutions. This approach ensures that clients receive high-quality, seamless solutions tailored to their specific needs throughout the lifetime of the ship.
