Boitzenburg boat building company conquers international yacht markets!
In the small town of Boitzenburg, the company Mobilerbootsbau, founded by Jakob Kraus, has got some really great wind in its sails. Since its founding in 2020, the company has not only expanded its number of employees from four to an impressive 30, but has also taken on an impressive market position in international boat building. This remarkable development has piqued the interest of various customers, including the renowned yacht builder YYachts in Greifswald, known for its 90-foot carbon sailing yachts, and now the Southern Wind Shipyard in Cape Town.
The specialization in the production and assembly of wooden decks and special components for yachts has proven to be a stroke of luck. Particularly innovative is the use of 0.8 mm thick fiberglass epoxy resin panels, which make it possible to decouple the teak deck from the yacht deck. This technology not only offers advantages in terms of durability, but also surprises with an assembly process that uses vacuum bonding without screws or drilling, so that assembly times are drastically reduced.
Innovations and global sales market
The company has not only made a name for itself nationally, but now serves an international sales market, with around 60 percent of orders coming from abroad. Montages are carried out liberally in the Mediterranean and Northern Europe, and more recently in South Africa. The logistics run very smoothly: the teak decks are transported across the ocean in deep-sea containers to South Africa, while the employees travel to do their work on site.
Another highlight of the company is the precise deck measurement, which is carried out using a modern laser scanner. This is an important aspect to ensure the quality and fit of the products, which is very important to discerning yacht buyers. The company is currently looking for qualified personnel, specifically boat builders and carpenters with CNC experience, to further promote growth.
Expansion and future plans
Mobilerbootsbau has big plans: In order to strengthen its presence on the Mediterranean, a boat building business in Port-Saint-Louis-du-Rhône, France, is being taken over. This expansion is not only a sign of growth, but also of ambition to further expand market shares. Even though the company has already achieved a lot in the past, the takeover of the French line could lead to new heights.
In addition, an open Advent calendar will be held on December 9th, where those interested can visit the workshop from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m. This is a great opportunity for everyone to take a look behind the scenes at the boat building company and find out about the latest developments.
In summary, it can be said that the company Mobilerbootsbau, under the leadership of Jakob Kraus, is not only building and expanding a solid business, but is also pioneering through its innovative techniques and global ambitions. It will be exciting to see what waves the company will make in the future.
