What Finomar does

Finomar is a Polish shipbuilding and offshore construction company founded in 1994 and headquartered in Szczecin, operating a 50,000 m² waterfront site with a 330-metre quay, three 20-tonne berth cranes, and approximately 19 employees. The company designs and manufactures complex welded steel and aluminum structures for the European shipbuilding, offshore, and energy sectors, including custom vessels up to 55 metres, ship blocks up to 800 tonnes, offshore wind structures, and power plant components. Its core technical differentiator is the patented FINOMAR 1 submersible pontoon platform (48m x 18m x 4.30m, capable of launching structures up to 550 tonnes), which serves as proprietary launch infrastructure for heavy ship blocks and offshore modules.

The company is certified to the highest tier of European structural welding standards, holding ISO 9001:2015, TÜV Nord EN 1090-2 EXC4 (the top steel execution class), EN 1090-3 EXC3 for aluminum, PRS, and Germanischer Lloyd approvals, which qualify it to bid on demanding European shipbuilding and offshore tenders. Its product lines span commercial ship blocks, megayacht structural fabrication for German shipyards (since 2014), and offshore wind structures (since 2011), with a "Dimension Control System" used for precision measurement during fabrication.

Finomar operates a pure B2B, project-based business model with no standard pricing: each vessel, block, or offshore structure is custom-engineered to client specifications under individual contracts. The company sells into Poland, Germany, Scandinavia (Sweden, Norway, Denmark), the Netherlands, and Great Britain, anchored by a 20-plus-year strategic supply relationship with German shipyards and supported by a recurring cadence of EU co-financed modernization grants (2017, 2020, 2021, 2023). Revenue is not publicly disclosed, and the company is a privately held Polish limited liability company (Sp. z o.o.) led by Roman Lis (Board President) and Beata Kordecka (Deputy Board President).

Scale indicators8 records

Recent moves8 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Damen Shipyards: Major Dutch shipbuilding group with broad workboat, offshore, and naval portfolio. Not a direct sub-scale peer, but a key European incumbent whose outsourcing and subcontracting patterns directly shape Finomar's addressable market.
• Astilleros Armón: Spanish shipbuilding group building fishing vessels, tugs, and offshore service vessels across multiple yards. Wider portfolio than Finomar but overlapping in fishing vessel hulls and offshore wind platforms for European clients.

Regional players

• Westcon Yards: Norwegian shipyard group with yards in Florø, Ulsteinvik, and Stord building offshore service vessels and ship sections. Comparable offshore-wind and OSV structural work, but larger and primarily Norwegian-market focused.
• Remontowa Shipbuilding: Larger Polish shipyard in Gdańsk focused on ship repairs, conversions, and newbuilds for offshore and navy. Overlaps with Finomar on offshore structures and Northern European customers but operates at materially larger scale.

Others

• MEYER Werft: German passenger shipbuilder that has historically purchased prefabricated sections from Polish fabricators including Finomar. Relevant primarily as a customer-side counterparty rather than a direct competitor.
• Boluda Towage / Vroon: European maritime operators that procure specialized vessels and offshore support platforms from regional shipbuilders. Included as a representative buyer/customer archetype for Finomar's offshore and service-vessel work.

Direct peers

• Crist S.A. Polish shipyard in Gdynia building ferries, fishing vessels, and offshore structures. Closest domestic comparable to Finomar in vessel type, customer base (Northern European yards), and sub-200M EUR scale.
• Diverse Marine: UK-based builder of small commercial vessels, crew transfer vessels, and offshore service craft. Similar sub-scale profile, project-based model, and European offshore wind exposure.
• Baltic Workboats: Estonian small-vessel builder producing workboats, patrol boats, and aluminum vessels for European customers. Comparable in size, customer geography, and reliance on Nordic/Western European clients.
• Strategic Marine: Builder of aluminum crew transfer vessels and small commercial craft with European and Asia-Pacific operations. Comparable niche in offshore wind support vessels and similar customer profile.
