We at STAUFF have been a leading partner to the international shipbuilding industry for decades. With a deep understanding of the complex requirements of shipbuilding and a wide range of innovative fastening solutions, we have established ourselves as an indispensable partner for shipyards worldwide.
From the legendary plastic clamp, which revolutionized metal fastenings in the 1960s, to modern special solutions such as the NRC clamp (Noise Reduction Clamp) for vibration and noise damping: STAUFF offers a tailor-made solution for every challenge. Products that reduce vibrations, save space and meet high material and safety requirements are particularly in demand in shipbuilding - and this is precisely where we come in with a differentiated range and individual advice.
Another example in the area of flexible and space-saving assembly is the MGR-plus system, the further development of the 2 + 5 system widely used in shipbuilding: the system enables several cables with different diameters to be fastened efficiently to a single welding plate.
STAUFF in modern shipbuilding: Innovations at the SMM 2024 in Hamburg
STAUFF will have a stand at this year's world's leading trade fair SMM in Hamburg and present its latest innovations. Dipl.-Ing. Hartmut Hofmann, a recognized expert for piping systems and fasteners in shipbuilding, will play a special role in supporting us on site this year. Mr. Hofmann has been working in the industry for many years and knows the specific requirements of the marine industry inside out. In the run-up to the trade fair, he gave us an insight into his expertise and explained why STAUFF's solutions are so special and what added value they offer the shipbuilding industry.
Hartmut Hofmann reveals what makes STAUFF so strong
Mr. Hofmann, what makes the STAUFF range of clamps so unique for the shipbuilding industry?
STAUFF offers products that are consistently tailored to the needs of the customer. The high quality of STAUFF products is based on close cooperation with OEMs and a high degree of automation in production, which enables competitive prices. Particularly noteworthy are our block clamps, which are not only technically impressive due to their flexible use in various installation positions, but also represent a cost-efficient solution.
What advantages do STAUFF solutions offer manufacturers of ships and systems?
STAUFF's comprehensive consulting expertise is a decisive advantage. Our experts work closely with shipyards and manufacturers to develop specific installation and processing guidelines. This not only ensures optimum use of the products, but also efficient project handling. These individual solutions are particularly valuable in shipbuilding, where precision and reliability are essential.
Can you give an example of a particularly innovative solution from STAUFF?
Yes, our 2+5 system is an outstanding innovation for confined spaces, as is often the case in ships. It enables space-saving fastening of pipes and offers maximum flexibility at the installation site. The system is ideal for use in confined spaces, such as those required for stabilizers on cruise ships and yachts.
