Specialist in providing durable sheet metal solutions for the marine industry
Graepel specializes in sheet metal processing and perforation technology and has many years of experience in the maritime sector. As an established supplier to leading shipbuilders, Graepel develops solutions that perfectly combine safety, stability, and functionality—tailored to the unique challenges of maritime operations.
Our metal components and sheet metal parts are specifically designed to meet the requirements of military vessels: They are permanently resistant to corrosion, vibration, and the fluctuating stresses caused by waves and saltwater. Through targeted surface finishing and the use of seawater-resistant materials, we ensure long-term functionality and low maintenance requirements.
Our solutions for military vessels
Metal components on military vessels are constantly exposed to extreme stresses caused by saltwater, vibration, and wave impact.
They ensure the structural integrity, functionality, and tactical readiness of modern naval units.
From corrosion-protected gangway systems with intelligent water drainage to storm-tested ladders and access platforms featuring saltwater-resistant anti-slip coatings in special radar-absorbing colors. These specialized surfaces minimize radar reflections and contribute to tactical camouflage, while simultaneously ensuring long-lasting slip resistance and weather resistance.

FAQ
Graepel supplies slip-resistant stair and flooring solutions that are tested for marine applications.
Anti-slip coatings and saltwater-resistant materials ensure a secure footing in wet conditions and when moving.
Special radar-absorbing coatings and paints reduce the reflection of electromagnetic waves, thereby helping to reduce the radar signature. These surfaces minimize light and heat reflection and support tactical camouflage in maritime operations. To this end, Graepel uses seawater-resistant anti-slip coatings with radar-absorbing properties that also ensure safe walking surfaces on deck.
All components for the maritime sector are made of corrosion-resistant metals, such as seawater-resistant steels, aluminum, or coated surfaces. These materials have been specifically developed for continuous use in salty environments and ensure a long service life with minimal maintenance. To achieve this, Graepel combines precision metalworking with high-quality coating processes that preserve both structural integrity and visual durability.
