Design for Performance

The challenges of building advanced yachts and boats are as strong today as ever. The need for reliability and durability, combined with superior performance on factors such as speed, maneuverability and fuel savings are leading naval engineers and shipbuilders to use carbon fibre as the material of choice for both structural and semi-structural applications. At Sigmatex, we have a wealth of knowledge on the use of CFRP is marine applications, and can demonstrate a track record covering everything from major military vessels, through to large-scale passenger ferries and racing class yachts.

Superior Performance

Our extensive range of products offers the design engineer many options when looking for the optimum material. Our ability to guide customers through the vast range of fibre types and fabric architectures provides a fresh approach to ensuring the right solution is arrived at. As well as mechanical performance, we can also provide guidance on factors such as drape (ability of material to conform to shapes) and permeability. The outcome, a product that hits the sweet spot for performance, processability and price.

Quality Assured

As well as an enviable track record of success supplying our products to some of the largest and most advanced ships and yachts in the world, we have all the expected accreditations to demonstrate our capability, this includes ISO9001 and DNV certification (type approvals) on our product range. At Sigmatex, we go beyond the standard QA methods, applying advanced process capability systems to ensure repeatability and reliability of product quality.
