Whether the focus of your project is on cost efficiency, high-end design or lightweight solutions for better performance, with in-depth calculations, our team knows how to create a high-quality basis that is class proof. We have a vast multidisciplinary network which enables us to anticipate and think in terms of providing solutions quickly. This experience ensures a fast turn-around time for each project. Also, Solico assists in purchasing decisions through advice and support to ensure that the quality remains extremely high.

Our specialisation is composite engineering. We are passionate about composites because we believe this advanced material brings unique advantages to the maritime industry:

  • Lightweight yet incredibly strong – enabling vessels to:

    • Achieve higher speeds

    • Extend operational range by reducing fuel consumption

    • Increase payload capacity for cargo or mission-critical equipment

  • Radar transparency – ideal for enclosing radar systems without compromising performance

  • Low maintenance and corrosion resistance – reducing lifecycle costs and downtime

In short, composites offer a cost-effective, innovative solution that transforms complex designs into reality.
