Our solutions for Military Vessels
Metal components on military vessels are constantly exposed to extreme stresses from saltwater, vibrations and wave impact, ensuring the structural integrity, functionality and tactical superiority of modern naval units. From corrosion-protected gangway systems with intelligent water drainage to storm-tested ladders and access platforms featuring saltwater-resistant anti-slip coatings in radar-absorbing special paints.
