5 Exhibitors to Visit at Metstrade 2026

Volvo Penta, headquartered in Gothenburg, Sweden and part of the Volvo Group, has manufactured marine and industrial engines since 1907. The company's product range spans diesel and gasoline engines from 10 to 1,000 hp, including the D4, D6, D8 and D13 diesel series, the Inboard Performance System pod-drive platform, and a new family of hybrid and fully electric IPS drivelines. Many engines in the lineup carry IMO Tier III certification and support renewable fuel use.

With approximately 3,500 dealers across more than 130 countries, Volvo Penta offers buyers a globally distributed service and parts network that is relevant for both leisure OEMs and commercial operators. Over 40,000 IPS drivelines are in active operation across a 20-year production history, and the company runs an established remanufacturing program covering complete D4, D6, D8 and D13 engines as well as the IPS range, giving buyers a cost-considered alternative to new units.

Garmin, headquartered in Olathe, Kansas and founded in 1989, employs approximately 23,000 people across its global operations. Its marine division covers multifunction chartplotters, sonar, autopilots, radar, satellite communications and marine audio, with Navionics charts, Fusion/Apollo audio, JL Audio and Lumishore all operating under the Garmin umbrella.

Garmin has been named NMEA Manufacturer of the Year in the large manufacturer category for 11 consecutive years and took eight of 21 NMEA Product of Excellence awards in 2025, the most of any manufacturer at that event. Its proprietary Garmin Marine Network and NMEA 2000 integration unifies sonar, radar, autopilot, instruments and cameras into a single onboard architecture, a point of particular relevance for OEM builders and systems integrators managing complex electrical and navigation suites.

Dometic Denmark A/S is a Danish subsidiary of Dometic Group AB, headquartered in Solna, Stockholm, Sweden. The group was founded in 1922 and employs approximately 7,000 people worldwide, with products sold in more than 100 countries and net sales of SEK 21 billion in 2025. Its marine portfolio spans refrigeration, HVAC, gyroscopic stabilisation, electronic and electro-hydraulic steering, and sanitation systems, serving OEMs, boat builders, distributors, and refit yards.

At Metstrade 2025, Dometic earned two DAME category wins and a Special Mention across three distinct product disciplines: the CSX ColdMachine refrigeration system (Onboard Facilities, Comfort and Entertainment), the DG3 Gyro Stabilizer (Propulsion and Dynamics), and the Sanitation Wall Holding Tank Series with VacuMAX Technology. That breadth of recognition across unrelated engineering categories reflects a cross-disciplinary marine team capable of supplying integrated, compact, lower-energy onboard systems from a single supplier relationship.

Jotun A/S is a Norwegian coatings manufacturer headquartered in Sandefjord, founded in 1926 and continuously family-owned by the Gleditsch family since its inception. The company employs approximately 10,933 people across 40 production facilities operating in more than 100 countries. Its yachting product range spans silyl acrylate self-polishing antifoulings, high-performance underwater hull systems, and premium finish topcoats serving superyacht builders, refit yards, professional applicators, and fleet operators.

Jotun's Imperial Fouling Protection System uses per-vessel calibration, factoring in a yacht's sailing pattern, voyage factor, and operating environment, to deliver a lifecycle carbon footprint approximately 50% lower than conventional antifouling over a 30-year service life, a claim validated in partnership with the Water Revolution Foundation. The company's global technical service teams and JotunCare programme support long-term coating maintenance planning at refit yards worldwide, making Jotun relevant to specifiers and captains managing both performance and sustainability targets.

Raymarine, a Teledyne FLIR business headquartered in Fareham, Hampshire, UK, has manufactured marine electronics since 1923, when the company produced the first commercial echosounder. Today its product range spans chartplotters and multifunction displays (Axiom 2, Axiom Pro S), solid-state and open-array radar, RealVision sonar, AIS units, VHF radios, marine cameras, and the DockSense assisted docking system. The company serves recreational boaters, offshore fishing captains, sailing skippers, and light commercial marine operators through more than 7,500 dealers and installers across 110 countries.

Raymarine holds a position as a navigation system supplier to the U.S. Coast Guard and maintains offices in 12 countries. Its heritage of firsts, including the first recreational autopilot in 1974, the SeaTalk single-cable network in 1989, and the first marine multifunction display in 2004, gives boat builders and OEMs a long reference list when specifying integrated helm electronics. At Metstrade 2026, the company also exhibits under the Teledyne Raymarine Commercial banner in Hall 8 (stand 08.741), addressing workboat and superyacht operators separately from the main recreational stand.
