Manufacturer of access hardware has created Southco Marine - a single source for a wide range of proven products for cabin, cockpit and entry door applications.

Southco, design, engineering and manufacture of access hardware has created Southco Marine - a single source for a wide range of proven solutions for cabin, cockpit and entry door applications.

The launch of the new organisation marks Southco's continued expansion into the marine industry, following last Summer's acquisition of Swedish marine locks and latches manufacturer, Mobella.

The new organisation will combine the two leading brands of high quality marine hardware-the Mobella brand of marine locks, latches and accessory hardware with the innovative marine hardware solutions of Southco.

The new organisation is part of Southco's ongoing commitment and support for designers in the marine industry, where existing customers include B?n?teau, Dufour, Sunseeker and Princess Yachts.

"The charter of Southco Marine is to work in close collaboration with boat builders around the world to help them develop innovative products that differentiate their boats by enhancing those key user touch points," says Brian McNeill, president and CEO of Southco.

"The marine industry has a long tradition of developing distinctive boats that combine exceptional style with detailed design and skilled craftsmanship.

"Southco has over fifty years of global access hardware experience in a wide range of industries.

With this wealth of expertise, and proven capabilities within the marine industry, Southco Marine will be able to effectively address the unique set of requirements and challenges for access hardware applications facing today's marine industry." "Southco customers across all industries are familiar with our strong track record of quality and our extensive commitment to operational excellence," notes McNeill.

"With the creation of Southco Marine, we are poised to further demonstrate our trusted front-end design help and quality manufacturing philosophy to the boat building industry." McNeill noted that Southco Marine's "bow-to-stern" access hardware portfolio creates real value for marine customers.

He says Southco Marine will be an industry partner that is capable of providing product innovation backed with excellence in operations and global customer support, with the convenience of a single source of supply to boat builders.

A large number of global marine customers are already familiar with the innovative access hardware offerings in the Southco Marine portfolio.

Major OEM boat builders such as Sea Ray, Dufour, B?n?teau and Viking are featuring access hardware from Southco Marine.

In addition, the company has a significant presence with door and hatch fabricators and is growing in the after market channels.

Southco is a leading global provider of engineered access solutions, including latches, captive fasteners, hinges, handles, locks and other accessories for applications in the marine, networking, telecommunications, computer, automotive, mass transit, aircraft, off-highway/construction, RV/caravan, industrial machinery and HVAC industries.

Southco is strongly focused on customised engineering solutions and global support for its key customers.

The company aspires to be a virtual engineering centre for its customers' engineered-access solutions and is committed to providing outstanding quality and overall satisfaction.

Southco's promise to its customers is to connect, create and innovate to provide the best solution for every access engineering problem.
