SKYDEX Announces Strategic Partnership with Calgus Maritime to Bring Innovative Boat Decking and Seat Inserts to Australia
Centennial, CO., March 21, 2024 – SKYDEX, a global leader in advanced impact mitigation and cushioning solutions, proudly announces a new partnership with Calgus Maritime, an emerging Defense specialist sub-contractor based in Australia. Calgus Maritime, owned and operated by Defense Veterans, specializes in providing client-focused solutions for small boat products, project management, engineering, safety engineering, test and evaluation.
This strategic collaboration will see Calgus Maritime bringing SKYDEX boat decking and seat inserts to the Australian market. Leveraging Calgus Maritime's expertise in whole ship concepts from requirements setting through to delivery and acceptance, this partnership aims to deliver cutting-edge solutions for the maritime industry.
"We are thrilled to partner with Calgus Maritime to introduce our innovative boat decking and seat inserts to Australia," said Alvaro Vaselli, CEO of SKYDEX. "Calgus Maritime's commitment to excellence and deep understanding of Defense needs make them the ideal partner to bring our technology to the region."
SKYDEX's patented impact mitigation solutions are trusted by military, commercial, and recreational boaters worldwide and have been used by the U.S. Navy since 2004. With products for both the deck and seating, SKYDEX technology addresses the growing demand for whole-body vibration (WBV) protection by working to continuously dampen and counteract vibrations induced by engine activity and water disturbances while also protecting from wave slam impact, ensuring a safer and more comfortable environment onboard. Through the proactive mitigation of vibration and impact related risks, this technology plays a crucial role in safeguarding the health and safety of individuals working on the water while reducing the exposure level experienced on craft to an acceptable level.
"We are excited to collaborate with SKYDEX to offer cutting-edge solutions to our clients in Australia," said Geoff Baird, Director at Calgus Maritime. "SKYDEX's boat decking and seat inserts align perfectly with our commitment to delivering excellence in vessel management and engineering solutions."
As a client-focused engineering consultancy company, Calgus Maritime specializes in new and modified vessel builds, project management, engineering, safety engineering, test and evaluation, and vessel management. The partnership with SKYDEX further strengthens Calgus Maritime's ability to deliver comprehensive solutions for the entire ship life cycle.
The introduction of SKYDEX boat decking and seat inserts to Australia marks an important milestone in enhancing maritime safety and performance in the region. Together, SKYDEX and Calgus Maritime are poised to redefine standards in marine impact mitigation, whole-body vibration and cushioning solutions.
