Marine Industry
marine-industry

The Marine manufacturing sectors have transitioned over recent years as the influence of labor cost-savings from overseas competitors has increased the competition for its products. Even though the Boat Building industry still maintains a net-exporter advantage over European and Asian producers, the competition has driven Marine manufacturers to adopt Lean Manufacturing, Just-in-Time delivery, and Supply Chain Management strategies, which we provide, to maintain their competitive edge.

Turn to The Hope Group for Solutions

Motion Control Solutions

There is a wide range of opportunity in New England to bring motion and control solutions to the marine industry. For example, boat manufacturers rely on Parker hydraulics for lifeboat davits, which permits smooth lowering with precise control. That is the essence of motion and control. Move it – but move it with control. Even something as simple as a hatch cover requires a well-designed system, using Parker actuators to provide precise control.

The Hope Group has expanded its presence in the marine market tenfold over the past 10 years, mostly through innovation in system design and fabrication. One yacht manufacturer relies on The Hope Group for steering, propulsion and system monitoring solutions for many of its various product lines. Another marine customer turns to The Hope Group for filtration and hydraulic solutions for its commercial boats.

In one recent case, working directly with Parker, a custom component was designed and manufactured for a luxury yacht manufacturer, to add an important fuel saving feature to its latest line of luxury boats. The feature adds value to the product and assures its continued leadership in the yacht industry. Together, the yacht builder and The Hope Group identified an opportunity and created a solution to meet the ever-increasing demands of marine customers.

Custom marine motion and control applications designed and built by The Hope Group rely on integration of hydraulic, pneumatic and electrical control systems for use in today's commercial and pleasure boats.

parker-marine-tug-boat

From its six locations in New England, The Hope Group can provide the hydraulic hose, fittings, steering, gas and diesel filters and elements, electronic control systems, bow thrusters, stabilizers, anchor windlasses and capstans to meet critical marine requirements.

marine-diverter-valve

An example of innovation in marine design is the custom Marine Diverter Valve developed by The Hope Group with Parker, which allows the inlet and the return lines in a marine fuel system to open simultaneously without ever disrupting the flow of fuel to the pump or to the return from the engine to the tank.

marine-jetstick

Luxury yacht owners today have the opportunity to retrofit their steering system with a water jet system controlled by a proprietary joystick package engineered by The Hope Group, which provides boat owners remarkable fingertip steering control.
