Vacuum infusion in a building technique used in all kind of construction. The reason why we started this might be obvious when knowing all the advantages for a fishing vessel:
Why choose a Vacuum Infused Sandwich vessel rather than a single skin hand lay-up?:
1. Vacuum Infused vessel is stronger
2. Vacuum Infused vessel is lighter
3. Vacuum Infused vessel is more stable
4. Vacuum Infused vessel is not as inflammable
5. Vacuum Infused vessel is safer
6. Vacuum Infused vessel has a more comfortable level of humidity
7. Vacuum Infused vessel has better soundproofing
8. Vacuum Infused vessel has an insulated fish hold
Did you know that they build:
- Bridges
- Boeing dreamliner
- Trains
- Windmills
- Militairy vessels
-
and many more with vacuum infusion.

Fishing boat builders are from nature very conservative. While the pleasure boats are developing rapidly with all kind of new building technics, most of the fishing boats are still made from Steel, aluminium and hand-layed fiberglass. All these have their known disadvantages compared with vacuum infusion. We see also that fish farms vessels, windmill service vessel and many more work boats are mainly made from aluminium, eventhough that vacuum infusion vessels can reduce their maintenance costs significantly and are much stronger. It will be just a matter of time before these companies will also discover vacuum infusion. Those who are thinking ahead will make the change first.
