Zodiac - France -  http://www.zodiac.fr/

Zodiac was the first company in France to make rescue equipment for the Navy. It was also the first to win official approval for its lifeboats. Very soon, ocean rescue organizations, as well as ships, would also be equipped with Zodiac craft. Thanks to its experience in defense procurement and some profitable foreign contracts, Zodiac was well poised to capture the French market for inflatable lifeboats.        


Zodiac - USA/Global - http://www.zodiac.com/

Zodiac set out to master the elements in 1896, as an aeronautical firm developing airships and airplanes. Then, in the 1930s, we invented the concept of the inflatable boat, whose commercial success after World War II established the Zodiac brand image. Our growth strategy since the late 1970s has enhanced Zodiac's recognition, shaping us into a diversified corporation with a worldwide presence and a blue-chip stock.


Sevylor Inc - USA - http://www.sevylor.com/

In 1948, Vitry, a small suburb of Paris, France, Berco Grimbert created an electronics company called Societe Electronique de Vitry, or SEVY for short. Soon, a friend of Grimbert's from New York commissioned SEVY to produce high frequency welding machines capable of fusing a new material called PVC (poly vinyl chloride). SEVY's machines worked very well and the American friend developed a very successful business manufacturing swimming pool related products. He then taught SEVY how to work with PVC. One of the first PVC products SEVY produced was inflatable bathtub called Dou Dou. It was an instant hit in postwar France - mothers could bathe their children even where no facilities were available. The media hailed Dou Dou as a significant invention. Soon, SEVY added small pools and flotation devices such as rings, beach balls, and inflatable swim jackets to its product line. Safe, hygienic products, made of PVC and designed for portability, durability and convenience, became the SEVY trademark. The company quickly outgrew its small facilities in Vitry. Mr. Grimbert accepted an attractive offer from the French government to take over a defunct textile factor in the tiny Alsatian village of Buhl. After establishing its new headquarters, the company added the letters "lor" to its name, and became Sevylor. In French, l'or means gold. By coincidence, or possibly fate, Sevylor has proven to be "as good as gold" to its owners, retailers, consumers and employees. Now based in Orange County, California.


Achilles USA - USA - http://www.achillesusa.com/

Our seams are overlapped a full inch and reinforced with seam tape both inside and out. Our flexible, cone-shaped baffle design equalizes air pressure between individual airtight air chambers. Every Achilles boat is made with our proven four-layered fabric reinforced with DuPont Hypalon®. Even though it takes more time to hand glue a Hypalon® boat, no fabric is more effective in resisting damage from the elements, oil, gasoline or abrasions. And nothing is better for air retention than the interior Neoprene® coating we use. So we take the extra time Hypalon® hand-gluing requires to insure that unsurpassed quality, safety and durability are built into every Achilles, from our smallest dinghy to our largest utility boat. So the question shouldn’t be “which inflatable?” but “which Achilles?”.


Nautica International Inc - USA - http://www.nauticaintl.com/

Nautica supplies RIBs to nationwide Law Enforcement agencies such as F.B.I., D.E.A., U.S. Customs, U.S. Navy Seals, U.S. Coast Guard, U.S. Navy Mammal Programs and U.S. Marine Corps and Rescue Craft to the Far East, in each case providing customized features to meet requirements. Nautica supplied two RIB prototypes to the U.S. Navy and U.S. Special Operations Command, in an effort to resolve design flaws in the U.S. Navy-designed 10 meter RIB in use at the time. From there on, Nautica has led the market by constantly building new models each year to meet the demands of the yachting and commercial industry. Commercial customers have included America's Cup Sailing Teams in 1991 and 1995, to whom Nautica supplied the majority of large RIB chase tenders. Nautica RIBs are carried as yacht tenders aboard some of the most prominent mega-yachts cruising the world's oceans. Our manufacturing facility is housed in a 40,000 sq. ft. building, inclusive of fiberglass production, boat assembly and rigging areas in addition to a large, climate-controlled section where the inflatable sponsons are manufactured and fitted to the hulls. Our showroom, sales and administrative office consists of 6,000 sq. ft. Nautica International owns both locations and expansion of our facilities is planned.

Stabi-Craft Marine - New Zealand - http://www.stabi-craft.com/

At the southernmost corner of New Zealand lies Foveaux Strait, a notoriously stormy stretch of water that separates Stewart Island from the southern mainland. The men who fish there naturally treat these waters with great respect. It was in 1986 that two local Foveaux Strait fishermen approached the fledgling Stabi-Craft Marine with a brief to design and build a small, rugged, unsinkable pontoon style boat. The key criteria was, it would have to allow them to fish these waters in almost any condition and always bring them and their catch safely back to their mother boat. This began the evolution of a brand that was to set world-class standards in aluminium rigid buoyancy boat design and construction. Even today Stabi-Craft Marine's standards are without equal of performance and safety. Precision build and thorough testing ensures Stabi-Craft's superiority. Right from the beginning Stabi-Craft Marine instituted a program of research, development, thorough hull testing, and meticulous attention to detail. As a consequence, you can be sure that every Stabi-Craft to leave the factory is built to the highest possible standards of engineering precision. The hull design has been thoroughly tested beyond what you are ever likely to ask of it and the build quality is still there even in the places you'll never see. 


Seair Inc - USA - http://www.seair.com/

Seair, Inc. was first formed in Orlando, Florida in 1997. The original company designed and produced the first Seair Flying Boat. Our current owner Ed purchased one of the very first Seair Flying Boats in February of 2000. After purchasing his flying boat, and flying for a few months, Ed got a call from the Seair owners when their trainer/pilot quit. Seair needed a new pilot to fly the Seair in a children's video ("The Critter Gitters' Manatee Mission"). Ed left two days later for Florida, and performed as stunt pilot in this video. While he was in Florida, Ed started working with Seair to make some improvements to the Flying Boat. The owners of the company were not pilots, and eventually started to lose interest in improving the Flying Boat, so Ed bought the company, and formed Seair, LLC.
Ed immediately stopped all sales of the Flying Boat so that he could redesign it to be safer and sturdier. This lead to the aluminum hull that you find on the Seair Flying Boat today, as well as several other major changes. The current design was in development for the majority of a year, and initial production began in late 2001, with the first sales in early 2002.

Ribeye Ltd - UK - http://www.ribeye.co.uk/

The hulls of most other large volume producers are inadequate for demanding sea conditions. Because Ribeye's hulls were designed to cope with the UK's choppy seas, their handling capabilities are superb. Many other makes have shallow or medium Vs and tend to be "sunbathing boats". With Ribeye's new manufacturing facilities you have available to you performing Ribs at prices that can compete with other brands anywhere in the world. It's not only design that differentiates Ribeye from the also rans. Unlike most other RIB manufacturers Ribeye build their boats from beginning to end. The glass fibre is laid up, the hulls constructed, the tubes made and fitted, even the upholstery is manufactured under the one roof. By manufacturing everything on one site, quality control can be assured. Although each boat is made from high tech materials, every Ribeye is built by hand. Like anything craftsman-built there is a pride in the product, which results in a fanatical attention to detail. From the top of the range Sports to the most basic inflatable, the same diligence and care is applied to the build.
