A fully mastered production chain
To meet the expectations of automakers and their brands, NVequipment mobilizes several complementary areas of expertise. Each project, from conception to series production, follows a rigorous process, integrating all stages of development: technical study, prototyping, adjustments, validation and manufacturing.
The industrial organization is based on three strategic poles:
- Technical office: Product design and development
- Supply chain: Flow management and logistics optimization
- Manufacturing: Production and assembly in compliance with quality standards
Each workshop specializes in a specific field: flexible materials or mechanics, two complementary areas of expertise guaranteeing optimal assembly of the final product.
A constantly evolving industrial model
Backed by its expertise in outdoor protection, NVequipment relies on manufacturing processes that combine technical expertise and precision. Computer-aided design is used to refine production methods and optimize equipment modeling.
Atelier toile: transmission and excellence
The assembly of flexible materials requires meticulous expertise. Aware of the importance of passing on know-how, the company invests in training new generations, thus guaranteeing the longevity of its trades.
Mechanical workshop: modernization and performance
The hoop workshop is undergoing significant development, driven by the increasing size of metal structures on boats. The company modernizes its equipment by integrating an approved workshop specifically dedicated to aluminum welding, guaranteeing high standards and full compliance with quality standards.
Data, a strategic challenge
Data management is a key lever in ensuring a perfect match between manufacturers' expectations and product delivery. NVequipment has invested in a high-performance information system, enabling it to link technical requirements with commercial needs, while optimizing lead times and responsiveness.
Recognized expertise
NVequipment has transformed its strengths into real assets, consolidating its position in a niche market. This excellence has been rewarded with the Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant (EPV) label, a distinction that recognizes exceptional craftsmanship and industrial know-how.
The pillars of this expertise :
- Controlled manufacturing adapted to the needs of boat builders
- Continuous transmission of skills, combining methods, quality and innovation
- Tailor-made industrial solutions, guaranteeing responsiveness and on-time delivery
Since 2007, ISO 9001 certification has attested to the company's commitment to continuous process improvement and customer satisfaction.
A key player in the nautical sector
Thanks to its in-depth knowledge of sailing practices and boat segmentation, NVequipment has established itself as an essential reference. Its technical expertise covers all materials and assemblies: acrylic and PVC fabrics, stainless steel and aluminum structures.
A pioneer in its market and inventor of "trade codes", in 1992 the company designed the first stainless steel structure for rental catamarans. Today, the company works with world-renowned names such as Groupe Bénéteau, Fountaine Pajot et Dufour, Grand Large Yachting, Catana, Alubat and J-Composite.
Project development involves taking into account on-board material environments, ergonomics, and functional needs according to the boat's use and destination. We design a product based on pre-established design rules and defined functionalities derived from marketing.
The quality reference framework designed and nurtured by the experts is passed on to the younger generations as part of the manufacturing process guarantee.
Towards a stronger design approach for the NV brand
Equipment development is based on an approach that takes into account on-board material environments, ergonomics and the specific uses of boaters.
While technology has long dominated, aesthetics now play a key role in product design.
NVequipment has the ability to work closely with designers to integrate a creative vision right from the development phase. This approach enables equipment to be adapted to the line of the boat, while guaranteeing functional and aesthetic solutions. By reinforcing this approach, the company intends to position itself as a key player in innovation in the boating industry.
Since 2004, NVequipment has been demonstrating its know-how in co-design with boat builders and designers, by developing tailor-made equipment adapted to new market trends. This research and innovation work contributes to the evolution of standards and to offering ever more efficient and elegant solutions to yachtsmen.
The company intends to pursue this commitment by exploring new collaborations, integrating technological developments and anticipating the expectations of tomorrow's sailors.
