Sailmaking

Custom-made textile equipment 

Tradition, quality and perfection 

Sailmaking has been the most important focus of our business since we were founded in 1875. As a craft and trading company, we are traditionally at home in the shipping industry. Today we stand by our customers from the shipbuilding industry as a strong partner and react together to all developments. 

Our Sailmaking involves the production of protective custom-made covers - on deck, below deck, and everything in between. When working together with Meyerdiercks, our customers value our quality standards and benefit from our extensive experience and our careful and reliable operational procedures. We manufacture to measure, and thus meet the individual requirements of our customers. 

This is how we work: 
Example of custom-made covers for a mega yacht

Our work is based on a trusting cooperation between the project managers of the shipyard, the owner representatives and our team; this is because the suggestions made by us, e.g. for fastening options, must be approved and implemented together with the yard. From first offer to customer acceptance, here is a view of the process: 
  • Creation of a project offer with target prices 
  • Specification of the order at the end of the ship's equipment phase. Only then can a clear picture of the work process be made.
  • Measurements are taken on-site 
  • Submission of suggestions for fastening options that offer security and meet aesthetic requirements. 
  • Production of patterns
  • Production of the component parts
  • Fitting and, if necessary, final adjustments and changes
At the end of the project, the final product is accepted by the customer.
Manufacturing of fabrics - our services
