Marine Division of Canadian corrosion-protection services provider partners with Dutch specialist to distribute marine tapes in Europe
During Europort 2025, one of the largest maritime events in Europe, Ned Marine Services signed an exclusive distribution agreement with Innovative Manufacturing, a Canadian manufacturer specializing in anti-corrosive protection tapes for piping systems, offshore structures, and industrial installations.
Under the new partnership, Ned Marine Services becomes Innovative Manufacturing’s exclusive master distributor for all regions between Turkey and Finland, i.e. covering Europe and the Baltic states. The agreement strengthens NMS’s position as a leading provider of corrosion protection and marine maintenance solutions.
“We were looking for a strong, knowledgeable distributor with deep roots in the maritime industry,” says Adam Eweida, Managing Director of Innovative Manufacturing. “We’ve held several talks with European potential partners, and Ned Marine Services stood out for their dedication, technical understanding, and proactive approach towards customers.”
Innovative Manufacturing (est. 1948), headquartered near the port of Vancouver, designs and produces innovative protective tapes designed to prevent corrosion or repair leakages onboard vessels and offshore constructions. The company’s products are widely used in the energy, offshore, and shipbuilding industries.
“We are very proud to represent Innovative Manufacturing in Europe,” comments Ger Monster, Managing Directorat Ned Marine. “Their quality and innovative manufacturing methods perfectly complement our existing cathodic protection and marine supplies range. This partnership enables faster delivery, closer customer support, and a stronger European presence for both companies.”
“Indeed,” adds Adam, “the fact that Leo and his team already offer a portfolio akin to ours and deliver certified products in many maritime markets, also contributed to this match. “They’ve made a flying start: starting this week, Innovative Manufacturing products will already be available from Ned Marine’s inventory!”
