Italwinch--who are they?

[Sneaky Pete]

Does anyone have information regarding Italwinch, I have been enquiring about an electric winch about 700W and been sent a sales brochure I really want to know if they are good bad or indifferent.

Thinking of ordering an Italwinch OBI windlass.

Do they have a manual chain recovery system should the power fail? Can't find anything about this on their website......

They look like the Simpson Lawrence winches, which look like Lofrans winches, which went through a change of ownership: -

Both companies addresses are very similar, so maybe in the same area, maybe a hive-off, or copy: -
