Outside New Zealand, Harken USA represents the Nilsson captive sheet winch range and a specialised range of  winches is manufactured under house brands other international marine companies. Nilsson Winches & Engineering actively seek representation for the "Seawinch" range of anchor winches and welcome a response from interested parties.

 Nilsson Winches & Engineering has it's origins in a company founded by Jim and Faye Nilsson in 1968 to manufacture components.

Building a winch for his father out of washing machine parts, a starter motor and a solid bronze, Jim founded a significant winch manufacturing business which by the mid 70's had a sound export base. Nilsson Winches & Engineering is the longest established winch maker in New Zealand and often breaks new ground with innovative designs driven by customer needs. 

Many of those early winches are still in service and a limited range of spare parts is still carried. The modern range of winches is designed and built in the same tradition of reliable service and long life. Nilsson Engineering website
