About SVT
SVT GmbH, based in Schwelm (North Rhine-Westphalia), has been developing and manufacturing complete loading systems for the safe transfer of liquids and gases for over 50 years. The product range includes marine loading arms such as SYMETRIC NEO (fully electric), ATLANTIC, ARCTIC, ADRIATIC (high-pressure loading arms for CNG), PACIFIC and RIVA as well as the land loading arm program TERRA (Komplex, Duplex, Max), complemented by folding stairs and loading platforms. The system portfolio includes swivel joints (ROTRAFLEX), Emergency Release Couplers (ERC), connection couplings (QCDC Classic/Vario) as well as Control System and CPMS. Development, manufacturing and factory testing of the systems take place at the Schwelm site. More than 12,700 delivered loading arms are in operation at terminals worldwide. For North and Central America, the subsidiary Connex SVT Inc. in Houston, Texas handles sales and support; through partners on all continents, SVT is represented worldwide. This includes after-sales service, spare parts and LNG retrofit upgrades for existing systems.
