Manufacturing Partner

STI was looking for a partner for their Marine Firestop Collar, intuitive marine fire safety equipment compatible with vessels and oil rigs. STI had already audited and selected Germantown Tool for another product, so STI turned to them again for assistance. The STI and Germantown Tool engineers worked together to optimize the manufacturability of the marine fire safety equipment and then Germantown Tool built custom rolling equipment and custom assembly equipment for the project. Manufacturing of the marine fire prevention product required 12 different sizes of parts— from 50mm – 264mm thick.

For this particular product, traceability of all materials used was also a requirement. Germantown Tool’s ISO 9001 certification and experience with traceability allowed them to meet this need. Additionally, some components were supplied by STI and stocked at Germantown Tool for quick-turn delivery.
