Production

AW is a small but versatile company. We are able to closely work with our customers in order to solve problems they may encounter when having specific machinery requirements. All products are designed at AW with own developed knowledge and peopleware. Furthermore, the production area has full machining, fabricating and gear cutting capability and this affords AW a high degree of flexibility when designing the machinery or incorporating revisions during the production phase.

AW had been supplying the commercial marine and fishing industries with a wide variety of high quality machinery, hydraulic systems and components for over fifty years.

With various scope of production, AW is capable of delivering complete Anchor-Mooring System Packages. Our modular based construction allows easily adaptation to any customer's needs. AW is committed to continue serving the requirements of customers around the world.

Quality

When designing above mentioned machinery, AW engineers are using latest technology in calculation and design in order to achieve fast and accurate respond on customers demands.

    Adria Winch's strategy is strongly based upon Total Quality, achieved thanks to:
  • Innovative design
  • Stringent controls and testing during every step of the production process
  • Efficient material handling from income to shipment
  • Final product performance testing

Our Quality System has been certified and registered by RW TЬV as conforming to the International Organization for Standardization ISO 9001 Quality System Standard.

All assemblies are developed in house, making special attention to quality construction regarding safety, ease of usage and servicing. Every product prior leaving the factory is tested and approved by Classification Society as agreed with the customer. During the production, QA is underdone. All third-party products must comply with necessary rules and regulations in order to be built as part of Adria Winch equipment. All products are corrosion protected prior to delivery according to customer's requests in our paint-shop with marine grade multi coatings. All equipment is packed in heavy duty wooden boxes or palletes prior to delivery.

Achievements

The result of AW long history of designing and manufacturing windlasses and winches is that the customer receives a high quality product from a company with a proven record of manufacturing expertise. Furthermore, AW always incorporates new technology into its designs to give the customer the most up to date machinery. Proof of AW's success can be seen in the list of customers who have called on AW to build windlasses and winches to suit their specific requirements, and also to measure up to the strict certification standards of Lloyds, The American Bureau of Shipping and Det Norske Veritas AS. Also, AW is winner of a few prizes for the best inovations and best products.

Custom Designs

Because every customer has specific requirements, not all winches are the same. In the same way that each ship is built for a specific purpose, the winches on board must also be designed for a specific application. Most of AW products are designed according to specific requirements and so it is only possible to give a general outline of the materials and components that is incorporated into our designs.

The Engineering Department is capable to relatively quickly design the machinery the customer needs and then offer it at a competitive price. All systems are designed to meet the rules and regulations presently in force for such systems.
