INNOVATION, RESEARCH & DIVERSIFICATION
The order of the day and the objectives that the Turin based
group has set out for the new 2010-2011boating season
The dynamic Italian Company is attending to the 2010 Fall boat shows exhibiting the all new stainless steel equipments as well as introducing a new brand that underlines the innovative force of its in-house design and production.
New products for the marine sector include:
- a patented superlight pantograph door with guaranteed water resistance and minimum obstruction of side walk ways;
- a manual glass entry door with two accordion opening panels and automatic windows;
- a tilting balcony system with manual or patented automatic handling system;
The long winter months gave fruit to years of experience, study, investments and research into new materials and new products. New creative ideas were born and developed and new production directions were tested.
The newest additions to the range of accessories are of course the furnishings for both interior and exterior, presented under the new brand name: Opacmare home design, signalling the group’s entry into the world of top quality designer furnishings.
The display of products at Opacmare’s booths also includes significant upgrades to products already catalogued, both for yachts and super yachts, such as:
- telescopicpasserelles, with rotating actuators and mini pistons equipped with optical fibres
- transom telescopic maxi passerelle with lengths ranging up to 7,5 metres and large walkway (450-780 mm)

Opacmare Spa, founded in 1995, is a dynamic Turin-based company that develops and manufactures series and custom components and accessories in aluminium and steel for the marine industry: gangways, davits, swim ladders, king stepladders, hydraulic platforms, doors, windows and pilot seats.
The company has a 290 strong workforce, three production sites in Italy, one in Canada and three overseas branches: the Head Office is located in Rivalta (Turin), while in Vigone, a few kilometres away, all mechanical works are performed and in Castelmarte, near Erba, there’s the site for all welding and polishing works. The three overseas branches – England (assistance), United States (sales) and Canada (sales and production) plus a network of dealers and service centres in over 30 countries, consolidate the company’s position as the world’s most innovative producer of marine equipments.
In 2009 the Group, in an effort to countervail diminishing global market demands in the marine industry, implemented consolidation and reorganization strategies including the streamlining of a number of internal departments, the full incorporation of three manufacturing plants, previously sharing plan companies, and the entry into a new segment to diversify production. The expected turnover for 2010 is 23 million euro (+10% over 2009)
