Eurovinil Survitec Group

What Eurovinil Survitec Group does

Eurovinil S.r.l., operating as Eurovinil Survitec Group, is an Italian marine safety equipment manufacturer founded in 1959 and headquartered in Grosseto. The company designs and produces self-inflating liferafts, inflatable tenders, self-inflating lifejackets, and SOLAS MED-approved immersion suits for professional/commercial marine operators, recreational boaters, government/naval customers, and luxury yacht builders. It is the Italian operating entity of Survitec Group, the world's largest provider of survival technology solutions, and operates as the sole authorized national revision center for Eurovinil liferafts within Italy, with access to the parent group's 410+ service stations across 2,000 ports in 96 countries.

The company's core technology is high-frequency welding (termosaldatura) — a process it pioneered with the first welded liferaft in 1959 — combined with the proprietary EV Marine Compound fabric. These replace traditional glued construction in tender and liferaft product lines, delivering superior structural resistance, UV durability, and air-pressure retention. The product portfolio spans flag-specific liferafts (OceanDry 9650 for Italy/France/Spain/Croatia/UK/SOLAS B, CompactDry Plus for Italy within 12 nautical miles, Throwover for commercial vessels up to 150 persons, and the 2024-launched Easy-Dry coastal replacement), six tender lines (Arrotolabile Plus, Gonfiabile Plus, Semirigido, Riponibile Plus, Ultraleggero), the Crewsaver lifejacket range (Seacrewsader, ErgoFit, Crewfit 165N Sport through 290N, plus the EV Neptune Vest), and the Crew Endurance immersion suit family including a child-sized variant. All products are manufactured in Italy and carry ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, RINA ISO 9650, and AER(EP).P-145 certifications.

Revenue is generated through a hybrid model: one-time product sales (liferafts, tenders, lifejackets, immersion suits, accessories) via direct B2B sales, an Italian dealer network, and international distributors; plus recurring mandatory revision/servicing fees on liferafts every 24–36 months, performed at the Grosseto facility, through Italian collection points, or at Survitec service stations worldwide. Pricing is unit-based and model-dependent; a 2026 Permuta trade-in program and Promo Summer 2026 tender discounts indicate active customer-acquisition pricing. Distribution combines a direct sales office ([email protected]), dealer/retailer network, the digital QR-enabled service portal (service.eurovinil.it), and the Survitec Group global service infrastructure. Named customers include Italian luxury yacht OEMs (Ferretti, Azimut, Sanlorenzo, Pershing, Riva, CRN, Wally, Itama, Mochi, Solaris) and government entities (Marina Militare, Guardia di Finanza, Esercito Italiano, Vigili del Fuoco, Amerigo Vespucci).
