Plastic components for the boat industry
Plastic components for boats and maritime applications benefit from the versatile properties of thermoplastic materials. Thanks to high stability, excellent optical quality and flexible shaping, transparent and dimensionally stable plastic parts are ideal for components in the interior and exterior of watercraft.
Swissplast manufactures individually shaped components from PMMA, polycarbonate and other thermoplastics – for windows, covers, cladding and functional components with high weather and UV resistance.
The deep-drawing process allows both large-format and complex-shaped components to be produced. Different material thicknesses, colors, shades and surfaces enable individual design and adaptation to the respective boat design. This results in tailor-made plastic solutions that meet the technical, functional and design requirements of modern boats and maritime applications.

Special plastic solutions for maritime applications
Thermoplastics are particularly suitable for boat and yacht construction due to their moldability and low weight. Swissplast produces transparent components such as windows, screens or light surfaces as well as robust cladding parts for interior and exterior areas.
Thanks to the possibility of producing components in 1-, 2- or 3-dimensional geometries, special shapes and large-area components can also be realized. Different materials, colors and shades enable individual design and adaptation to the design of the respective boat.
Our manufacturing processes allow us to produce one-offs and prototypes as well as small series – ideal for the maritime sector, where many components are individually adapted to the vehicle.
Plastic components for windows, covers & cladding
Swissplast processes high-quality plastics such as PMMA and polycarbonate, which are characterized by optical brilliance, high impact strength and UV resistance. These materials are ideal for boat windows, hatch covers, instrument panels, interior panels and technical housings.
The variety of colors, shades and surface textures offers numerous design options. In addition, the high dimensional stability of the thermoplastics ensures durable and robust components that function reliably even under changing weather conditions.

Interesting facts about deep-drawn parts for the boat industry
Safety plays a central role on board. Plastic components from swissplast are dimensionally stable, impact-resistant and manufactured to fit precisely. Rounded geometries and robust materials reduce the risk of injury and ensure safe working and movement areas – both in the cockpit and in technical and interior spaces.
Thermoforming makes it possible to integrate several functions into a single component. Fastening points, reinforcements or design details can be integrated directly into the plastic component. This reduces the number of individual components, assembly times are shortened and production costs can be sustainably reduced.
Thermoformed plastic parts combine low weight, high stability, design freedom and resistance to maritime environmental influences. They contribute to the durability, economy and functionality of modern boats and offer a wide range of applications in shipbuilding.
