Premium glass for yachts, river vessels and cruise ships
Using glass for premium purposes such as on yachts, river vessels and cruise ships requires innovative thinking. Having fitted out many of the world’s top 20 mega-yachts, ADCO understands the importance of a high-quality finish.
The company puts the performance of its patented products to the test through its own product development process. Highly-skilled engineers review design concepts and calculations to ensure the use of resources is optimised.
Co-operation with glass manufacturers and the chemical industry as well as special quality management for yachts ensures high-standards are met. ADCO is certified for quality management systems in accordance with DIN EN ISO 9001:2008 Germanischer Lloyd certification.
Epoxy, polyurethane and silicon-based bonding
Mr Müller’s years of experience gives ADCO extensive knowledge in epoxy, polyurethane and silicon-based bonding. This knowledge is coupled with an expertise in glass, enabling ADCO to consistently exceed the demanding wishes of its clients.
One of ADCO’s specialties is its use of elastic glass adhesive technology. This innovative solution is made possible through ADCOs use of epoxy resin, polyurethane and silicone-based adhesives.
ADCO has forged strong links in the chemicals and glass industries, and having built up these contacts, the company can use them to maximise savings and other benefits for its customers.
Our structural engineers are able to tackle even the most ambitious designs and ensure the task is completed on time while maintaining a quality finish.
