MARINE COMPOSITES

Composites are used extensively in the marine industry from fiberglass hulls through to composite marine fendering to marine renewable energy applications.  There are many advantages to using composites in marine applications such as;

  • Easier to maintain with lower maintenance costs including lower repair costs
  • Resistance to rot and corrosion and other environmental factors
  • Excellent durability and strength-to-weight ration
  • Ability to mould complex and organic shapes

In our 10,500 sq/ft factory we are able to provide design and manufacture services for the marine industry including machining, 3D printing, mould making/design, composite repair and also large scale production depending on the project.
