Production Facilities|Innovation and development

Our modern glass fibre reinforced plastic hangar produces glass fibre components to the very latest workplace regulations governing emissions, safety and environmental protection. Over and above shipbuilding, we are also heavily involved in steel construction and fitting. Our steel construction area produces sliding ramps for free-fall lifeboats, as well as compact-construction davit systems.

We also produce fittings and minor components in-house, such that the final assembly process pulls together components monitored for quality from A to Z. We make it our business to make every single day people spend at sea a safe one, and one they come home from. We're only able to do this because we care for every thing under one roof. We create concepts, manufacture in-house and check and re-check every aspect of quality right down to the last bolt.

Safety, in Sound Hands
