Stella is one of Australia’s leading manufacturers of marine equipment, supplying OEMs and installers worldwide. The addition of Australian Davits & Cranes’ expertise and product range complements Stella’s existing portfolio, creating a broader suite of premium marine equipment and services to Stella’s local and international customers.

“We are thrilled to bring Australian Davits & Cranes product range under our brand and welcome John Berg (owner and founder of ADC) and his team into the Stella family,” says Gary Cooper, Stella founder and director.

“This strategic acquisition not only strengthens our market position but also aligns perfectly with our commitment to delivering engineered excellence in marine solutions. The product range of ADC is a natural fit for Stella and by joining forces, we aim to create even more value for our customers and drive innovation in the industry.”

ADC is said to be Australia’s premier manufacturer of davits and cranes for vessels of all sizes. Stella plans to continue manufacturing the ADC’s entire range and will also be looking to develop the range further.
