CMP Europe will cover Italy, Jia Da Specialty Metals in Ningbo will cover China

New Zealand-based underwater coatings specialist Propspeed has partnered with CMP Group Ltd for international distribution. Under the terms of the agreement, Propspeed will be distributed by CMP Europe in Italy and Jia Da Specialty Metals, a division of CMP Group, in China.

“The CMP Group is an ideal fit to distribute our products in these markets,” says Chris Baird, Propspeed CEO. “Both of our companies have people who are deeply passionate about our products and the industry. We are also both committed to long-term relationships and working together to provide the very best solutions to our customers.”

Don Hambly, CEO of CMP Group, says: ”Propspeed’s products fit in perfectly with our market-leading offerings like our Martyr anodes. Propspeed and the Martyr anodes work great together to protect vessels from corrosion. We are confident that together we will provide our customers with the best solutions to fulfil their needs.”

Propspeed makes top coatings specially formulated to prevent marine growth from bonding to metal surfaces below the waterline. Designed for propellers and underwater rigging, the product is environmentally friendly and proven to increase boat efficiency, reduce drag, and save fuel and maintenance costs.

One of the biggest benefits that is unique is its superior corrosion prevention, when paired with the correct type of sacrificial anodes. Propspeed electrically isolates the metal and limits the exchanges between the ions and the gases contained in the water and the metal.

By isolating the metal substrate, Propspeed reduces the wetted metal surface area on a vessel. This means that the anodes will be able to work with Propspeed to protect the vessel from corrosion with maximum efficiency.

CMP Group Ltd is a leading provider of marine products for the recreational and commercial boating industries. Officially launched at Genoa Boat Show, CMP Europe is now distributing the Propspeed range of products throughout Italy.

Jia Da Specialty Metals, located in the city of Ningbo, China will have the Propspeed range of products available from early December.
