Supporting the manufacturing needs of boat builders across Europe – and beyond… | IBI Presents

Based in Budapest, Hungary, MS Marine Europe has officially launched its plug and mould production operations in China – offering full-scale OEM production composite tooling for boatbuilding support around the world

MS Marine Europe, which specialises in OEM production and composite tooling solutions for hulls, decks, and superstructures, has begun full-scale plug and mould production at its brand new state-of-the-art manufacturing environment in the Shandong province of China – offering a full-service boatbuilding partnership, including electrics, systems integration and interiors.

The new facility operates one of the largest and most advanced CNC milling machines in its class – measuring an impressive 20m long, 7.5m wide, and 3.9m high – allowing for the precise, large-scale production of complex plugs and moulds.

“Our goal is to give boatbuilder all around the world full access to industrial high-end technology with no compromises in quality– and always with precise execution and flexible project workflows,” insists Pawel Wrona, sales director. “We understand what matters in real-world production. Speed, precision and reliability are what our customers value most – and that’s what we aim to deliver.”

EXPERT EXPERIENCE

MS Marine’s experienced team includes mould builders, OEM distributors, and former boat builders –all with a deep understanding of the technical demands faced by the industry. The company’s in-house R&D centre, meanwhile, which is staffed by specialist engineers and composite technicians, allows clients to commission partial or complete production – from raw hull to turnkey delivery – ensuring ongoing innovation in tooling processes.

HIGH PERFORMANCE MATERIALS

MS Marine Europe’s production processes are fully compatible with vacuum infusion, hand lay-up, and prepreg techniques – as well as a broad spectrum of other marine manufacturing needs – and always with a focus on speed, surface quality and dimensional accuracy.

Advanced CNC milling provides precise production of complex plugs and moulds

All of the moulds are built using high-performance materials such as vinylester resins, Maxguard tooling gelcoats, woven roving, chopped strand mat (CSM) fibres, and foam core in structural areas – a robust construction approach that guarantees strength, longevity, and reliability in demanding marine environments. Production quality meets all ISO-certified processes and stringent European manufacturing standards.

PRECISION AND INNOVATION

Founded earlier this year, with its headquarters in Budapest, Hungary, MS Marine Europe offers a fully integrated production pipeline – from CNC-milled plugs and precision moulds to full GRP hull builds – delivered swiftly from its central production site in the vibrant city of Dezhou, in the Shandong province of China.
