The manufacturing powerhouse of the world!

Over the past 21 years, thousands of Australians have voted Trailcraft to be the number 1 choice when buying a boat, and now, boating enthusiasts in other countries around the world are proud owners of a Trailcraft boat too.

To cater for this growing demand, Trailcraft Australia recently joined forces with one of the world’s leading marine manufacturers, opening a new, state of the art, 90,000 square metre factory in China.

In early 2011 Trailcraft was sold to the massive Jiangyin Marine Equipment Manufacture Company – incorporating – Jiangyin Ocean Sincere Shipyard Steel Co., Ltd.Based in Jiangyin city – which is approx 3 hours car drive inland from Shanghai.

Jiangyin Marine Equipment Manufacture Co., Ltd was founded in 1993, and is located in Jiangyin Developing Zone in south of Yangzi River with scenic scene. There is only one km to Jiangyin Yangzi River Bridged and Jing Hu (Beijing-Shanghai)

It is an expert consultation member of the Marine and Offshore Technical Committee of Ship Equipment and Desk Technical Committee of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO/TC8/SC4). The company holds four practical patents of the garage gate of helicopter etc. It obtained the ‘marine airproof door’, ‘marine lightweight fireproof board’ etc., total five technological product awards. It is appointed manufactory of marine metal fitment by the Mounting Department of Chinese Navy.

The company’s main products are as follows: various standard and non-standard marine doors, hatch, lid, ladder, metal fitment, inner wainscot, ceiling, sanitation unit, marine seat, rescue life boat davit, winch, the platform equipment of the helicopter and the other equipment.

The company carries out the GB/T19001 2000 quality system and the GJB 9001-2001 standard which has already passed the approval and audit by the secondary party. It was also named on the eligible supplier list of naval weaponry equipment. The multi-marine product obtained the marine product type approval certificate by CCS, LR, ABS, GL, DNV, BV, NK and EC.

The company is composed of two factories. The old factory occupies 28,000 ㎡. Last year, due to the rapid expansion of business, a new factory was built up along the Long River with area of 66,000 sqm.

There have been a few marine manufacturing companies go to China for manufacturing but most have orchestrated contract agreements. Whereby, they simply contract the building of the products out to the cheapest bidder.

This is totally different with Trailcraft where Jiangyin Marine Equipment Manufacturer own the brand.

They have enormous brand commitment and dealer loyalty.
