What ARIMAR does
ARIMAR is an Italian manufacturer of maritime safety equipment and inflatable boats, founded in 1989 and operated as a wholly-owned brand of LALIZAS Italia Srl Unipersonale (an Italian LLC with €3M share capital, headquartered in Cervia, Emilia-Romagna, with 65 employees). The company produces SOLAS-, MED-, and ISO-certified liferafts under product lines including SOLAS DEEP SEA II, MED SEA, F.O.R.C., and ISO ATLANTIC II, alongside a portfolio of inflatable boats (folding tenders ROLL, SOFT LINE, CLASSIC, and RESCUE BOAT; rigid-hull SPORT STILE), inflatable stand-up paddleboards, and supporting accessories such as repair kits and paddles.
The company's core manufacturing technology relies on high-frequency (HF) welding for inflatable tubes combined with hot-air welding for arches, eliminating glue from liferaft construction; specialized laser cutting supports production quality. SUP boards use drop-stitch and double-layer fusion technology. ARIMAR holds ISO 9001:2015 quality certification and provides a 12-year warranty on fabric and seams for ISO ATLANTIC II liferafts when serviced through authorized stations.
ARIMAR's business model combines one-time hardware sales (liferafts, inflatable boats, SUPs) with recurring service-and-maintenance revenue from a worldwide network of authorized service stations conducting mandatory annual (SOLAS) or biennial (ISO/MED) liferaft inspections. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; customers contact the company directly via email ([email protected]) or through distributors. The company serves four primary verticals — yachting/recreational boating, commercial fishing, superyacht/megayacht operators, and professional SOLAS/MED maritime operators — through a B2B direct-sales channel and global service-station partner network, with parent-company LALIZAS providing administrative, legal, and distribution infrastructure.
