Just a few years ago, few people could have predicted that Expom would manufacture more than one hundred specialized lifeboat davits – equipment that has now become one of the key projects delivered by our company for the marine industry.
A company once known mainly for manufacturing steel structures with basic paint systems has undergone an impressive technological and organizational transformation.
Today, Expom is a fully integrated production center for advanced lifting equipment. We manage the entire process in-house – from material procurement, fabrication and welding, precision machining, and high-performance coating systems, to final testing and commissioning.
The development of employee competencies, investments in machinery, and the construction of dedicated clean assembly halls have enabled us to master the complete production process of lifeboat davits in an end-to-end manufacturing model.
This means that every stage of production, regardless of complexity, is performed internally. As a result, we maintain full quality control while providing safe and efficient working conditions.
The lifeboat davit production process at Expom includes:
- material cutting and preparation,
- advanced fabrication and welding operations,
- precision machining,
- high-grade marine coating systems,
- complete mechanical and hydraulic outfitting,
- functional and load testing in the clean assembly hall.
Each davit leaves our facility as a fully completed product, ready for installation at the customer’s site.
Manufacturing cranes and davits designed for harsh marine environments requires not only experience and specialized expertise but also excellent organization.
Every operation is carefully analyzed and planned in advance. Production processes are implemented to meet strict quality and safety requirements.
Internal logistics, production planning, and quality control form the foundation of the entire project. Precise coordination between all departments ensures smooth execution even for the most complex projects while meeting the highest industry standards.
When we started our first lifeboat davit projects, many people wondered whether such large and technically demanding equipment could really be manufactured at Expom.
Today, after producing more than one hundred complete lifeboat davits, we can confidently say that the effort was worthwhile.
The experience gained, the development of employee skills, and new technological capabilities have opened the door to the next stage of our growth.
Lifeboat davit manufacturing has become one of our flagship activities and a clear example of how far a company can progress by investing in people, technology, and organization.
We continue to improve our processes, increase automation, and expand our portfolio to meet the growing demands of the marine industry.
Today, Expom is more than a steel structure manufacturer – it is a trusted supplier of advanced marine lifting equipment delivered with complete outfitting and full testing.
And more than one hundred lifeboat davits represent only the tip of the iceberg of Expom’s capabilities.
