SINGAPORE – Lam Hong Group is pleased to announce the establishment of the William Hackett Asian Distribution Centre in Singapore, further strengthening the availability of premium lifting and rigging products across Asia. The partnership enhances regional supply chain efficiency and provides customers with faster access to William Hackett lifting and hoisting equipment.
In today’s fast-paced industrial environment, reliable access to lifting and rigging equipment is essential for maintaining project schedules and supporting operational continuity. Traditionally, distributors have relied on large inventory holdings to ensure product availability, often resulting in increased storage costs and tied-up capital.
By establishing a dedicated distribution centre in Singapore, William Hackett and Lam Hong have created a more agile and responsive supply network, enabling customers throughout Asia to benefit from improved product availability, reduced lead times and more efficient inventory management.
The Singapore distribution centre maintains a wide range of William Hackett lifting and rigging products available for immediate dispatch, including:
- HA Master Links with capacities ranging from 4.1 tonnes to 250 tonnes
- William Hackett hoists with Working Load Limits (WLL) from 250kg to 50 tonnes
- Hack8 and Hack10 chain sling systems
As the Principal Distributor for William Hackett Lifting Products in Asia, Lam Hong plays a key role in supporting customers throughout the region with premium lifting solutions, technical expertise and local inventory support. The establishment of the Asian Distribution Centre further enhances Lam Hong’s ability to meet the needs of lifting, rigging and heavy engineering projects across multiple industries.
With more than 150,000 metres of chain and over 20,000 chain slings manufactured annually, William Hackett continues to be recognised globally for its engineering excellence, product reliability and commitment to quality.
Both Lam Hong and William Hackett share a long-standing commitment to safety, quality and customer service. The partnership combines William Hackett’s heritage of over 130 years in lifting equipment manufacturing with Lam Hong’s extensive experience serving the marine, offshore, oil & gas, construction and heavy-lifting industries throughout Asia.
This strategic investment underscores the commitment of both organisations to delivering world-class lifting solutions supported by local expertise, responsive service and dependable product availability.
