DROMEC Winch for World’s Largest Flag in Azerbaijan

The COP29 climate summit kicked off Monday in Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan. For this special event, as well as a prestigious Guinness World Record mention, DROMEC Winches had the honor of supplying the winch to raise a 70-by-35-meter flag.

Cees Drost, CEO of DROMEC, remarked,
“At DROMEC, we see a winch as more than just a high-quality piece of technology; it’s a part of something much larger. In this unique project in Azerbaijan, it’s more than a technical assignment. It’s about supporting a national symbol that welcomes thousands of visitors every single day!”
