Company Description
About
A Malaysian-Australian JV for manufacturing aluminum boats.
Etamax Sdn Bhd believe our boats are the strongest and have never failed in Malaysia.
Mission
To make high-quality aluminium boats affordable for all.
Company Overview
We believe our boats are the strongest available.
We build them with High Tensile Marine grade aluminum and our special Durojoint system
which uses no welding. Welding weakens aluminum.
We give a 5-year warranty on our Durojoint. In 15 years of selling Express boats in
Malaysia we have sold hundreds of boats to our government agencies and private users.
We have never seen a case of joint failure in our boats or have a warranty claim.
We challenge anyone to show us an Express boat which have failed.
Description
Quite simply, aluminium is the best shipbuilding material available commercially. From Car Ferries to little Cartoppers, all kinds of vessel are made from aluminium. It is the only material that can be used for making such a wide range of vessels. Not Fibreglass, not Steel, not Wood.
The advantages that aluminium has that makes it superior are:
Corrosion Resistance
Can last for decades without paint and protection
Durability
Withstands impact and normal wear and tear far better than fibreglass
Low maintenance
Trouble free operation for years
Lightness
Requires less power to propel
For the Commercial operator the low maintenance and high-durability factors are the most important. For the recreational buyer the lightness makes it more user friendly and cheaper to power. Smaller engines can be used to achieve similar performance.
Aluminium boats more than justify their higher prices and for the Commercial operator is really the only choice. This is why they have been so successful in commercial operation.
