Huisman is a trusted partner for naval defence programmes, providing complex steel structures including complex internal and hull structures for submarines and frigates. In addition, we can design and manufacture specialised handling systems that support safe and efficient operations aboard naval vessels.

What sets Huisman apart is the ability to combine advanced engineering with exceptional manufacturing capabilities. We are experienced in processing and combining high-tensile steels with exotic materials, including duplex and super duplex stainless steels, aluminium alloys and titanium, while meeting the strict dimensional tolerances and quality requirements of naval programmes.

Our production capabilities range from welding ultra-thin plates of 1 mm to heavy steel sections up to 400 mm thick. Supported by advanced technologies such as WAAM (Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing or 3D welding), laser welding and TIG welding, as well as highly skilled welders and fitters, we deliver critical structures with the highest standards of quality, precision and reliability. 

Working from two advanced production facilities in the Netherlands and the Czech Republic, including secure workshops for confidential projects, Huisman combines engineering, fabrication and project execution expertise to deliver complex steel structures for some of the most demanding applications.
