Two of the longest established marine safety companies working together
Chemring Marine, which specialises in marine distress signals, reports that it has secured a five-year contract to supply its Pains Wessex and Comet products to the Survitec Group.
The new agreement will see all existing and new companies that are part of the Survitec Group working exclusively with Chemring Marine and Chemring Australia. Survitec companies will fit all new liferafts and serviced liferafts with Pains Wessex and Comet SOLAS commercial marine distress signals.
Chemring points out that the agreement sees two of the longest established marine safety companies working together. Of the Survitec group companies, Beaufort dates back to 1854 and RFD was founded in 1920. The Pains Wessex and Comet brands of marine distress signals have been established for over 100 years.
Chemring Marine, which supplies SOLAS and MED-compliant products in a range of marine markets, is known for its campaigning stance in improved global marine safety regulations, including calling for standardised rules on replacing dated safety products.
Doug Baxter, CEO Survitec says, “Survitec is very pleased to extend its existing cooperation with Chemring Marine. The company has reliably supplied our group for many decades and this agreement further enhances our strategic partnership. We look forward to working together to develop new plans and to further grow our business globally.”
Justine Heeley, managing director of Chemring Marine says, “This agreement is an important expansion of our already successful business relationship with Survitec, and will create a growth opportunity for Chemring, as it now encompasses a number of businesses recently acquired by Survitec Group.It is a particularly important contract renewal since Chemring Marine and Survitec have been instrumental in saving lives at sea for many decades.”
