What Aros Marine does

Aros Marine (legal entity UAB "Aros") is a privately held Lithuanian marine services company founded in 2009 that delivers turnkey interior outfitting, HVAC systems, technical (piping and electrical) installations, design and engineering, and custom furniture production for passenger vessels including cruise ships, ferries, expedition vessels, and superyachts. The company operates from its Klaipėda headquarters and offices in France, the United Kingdom, Poland, Finland, Germany, and Italy, deploying 700+ directly employed specialists across 55 global locations, with mobile teams capable of 24-hour worldwide mobilization for drydock and emergency work.

The business is built around vertical integration of ship outfitting disciplines. Aros runs a 4,000+ m² in-house furniture production facility equipped with CNC machinery, a Design and Engineering service spanning 2D/3D CAD through production documentation, and a Training Center that conducts practical competency testing based on 15+ years of project experience. Service delivery combines permanent project teams with on-site execution at major European shipyards, holding ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001 certifications and signatory status with the Sustainable Maritime Interiors initiative.

Revenue is generated through project-based contracts and direct enterprise sales to shipyards (Chantiers de l'Atlantique, Meyer Werft, Fincantieri) and vessel operators (Royal Caribbean, MSC Cruises, Costa Cruises, Celebrity Cruises, HX Expeditions). The go-to-market is enterprise field sales supported by a website, LinkedIn-led content marketing, and dedicated Key Account Managers, with a Project Director for New Build overseeing major acquisitions. Headcount has scaled from 5 specialists in 2009 to 700+, revenue has grown from €1M (2011-2013) to €159M (2024-2025) entirely through organic growth, and the company is privately held with no disclosed external funding rounds.
