LRS and DNV-approved material, bespoke boat kits and a full package from plate to extrusion.
Salt water punishes weak materials. The UK marine sector knows it.
As the world's third-largest boatbuilder and Europe's fourth-largest shipbuilder, the UK builds naval vessels, offshore support ships, wind farm crew transfer vessels, superyachts, leisure craft, high-speed planing boats and everything in between. Add in ship repair, marine engineering and offshore renewables support, and you have a sector worth billions to the wider maritime economy.
You'll find a genuine marine offer in our network: approved material from stock, bespoke boat kits cut to your drawings, and the full range of materials your build needs, from plate to extrusion.
Approved material is held as standard stock, so your project isn't waiting on approvals before it can start.
Marine customers know the standards, and we hold what they call for.
We have a strong working relationship with Lloyd's, and can arrange for approval bodies to visit our facilities and witness cutting or approve material for customer-specific projects.
If you need approved material we don't currently hold, talk to us. We'll source, arrange approval, and deliver.
If you can share a CAD drawing, we can cut a boat kit for you.
Each part is cut on our CNC router from aluminium plate we already hold in stock, deburred and ready to work with, so you can move straight from delivery to assembly.
We can supply kits tabbed, so the parts pop out ready to weld, or loose and packed on a pallet, whichever suits your shop floor best. Kits can run to 4.5 metres and beyond, and we can engrave part numbers, logos or stencils on request. Because the material is already in stock, lead times are competitive and you're not waiting on the mill before your project can start.
The result: less handling, less waste, faster build times and material that arrives ready to assemble.
Boat builders need more than plate. They need extrusion for sections and framing, stainless tube for handrails and balustrades, and stainless steel pipe, tube and fittings (STPF) for onboard water systems.
You'll find it all in our stock, combined into a single supply, from a single supplier, on a single delivery. That's a real advantage in a market where most suppliers focus on plate and section alone.
Bespoke boat kits are coordinated through our dedicated marine team, wherever you're based in the UK or Ireland. One point of contact, one specification, one delivery.
