Who we are

Our story started on land…

Our story started on land where we developed and manufactured gate hardware for the domestic and industrial gate industry, an industry we’ve been in since the early 1990’s. During this time, we have become specialists with our renowned lock ranges and gate accessories.

Research and development have always been at our core, with it comes a natural innovative spirit aimed at proactively developing products to make gate installations safer, easier, and simpler.

In 2015, the designers for the Beatrice Wind Farm asked us to supply a spring hinge for the gates. With our engineering expertise in gate hardware, we evaluated the full scope of the project to best utilise our knowledge and apply it to offshore use. Developing a custom-engineered hinge for that project became the beginning of our offshore ventures.

And we haven’t slowed down since. We have applied the same engineer-led approach to many offshore projects, of which some were further adaptations of that first hinge, and others completely new and bespoke products.

Our mission is to develop reliable and safe access hardware that is not only effective but continues to perform against the test of time. We continue this mission by ensuring our products are engineered to stand up to the unyielding offshore surroundings, while exceeding safety standards and providing innovative ease-of-use and installation.
