Salmon Marine and SKYDEX Technologies Inc have joined forces to bring SKYDEX's industry leading shock and impact protection solutions to the UK & EU marine industry.
SKYDEX products are now available for order and demonstration through Salmon Marine, joining the company’s portfolio of performance-driven solutions, including Wavebreaker ballast systems and the new Slam-Shield helm mat which was launched at this year’s Seawork.
"Seawork was the natural platform from which to launch the Slam-Shield" explains Joseph Salmon, Managing Director of Salmon Marine. "Skydex and Salmon Marine have always worked adjacently within the field of shock mitigation, and sometimes literally adjacently when exhibiting at trade shows.
“The development of the Slam-Shield was borne out of a conversation at Speed@Seawork 2024, so it's great to have come full circle and launched the product at Seawork 2025, followed shortly by announcing our appointment as Skydex distributors for UK & EU marine markets.
“Having worked closely with SKYDEX to develop the Slam-Shield helm mat, this collaboration is a natural next step. It allows us to expand the range of protection and performance solutions available to boat builders and operators across the UK and Europe.
“Seawork is always an invaluable show for exactly that reason, as an opportunity to meet and find ways to collaborate with our industry partners".
Designed for both decks and seating, SKYDEX products address the growing demand for whole-body vibration (WBV) protection. The technology works continuously to dampen and counteract vibrations from engine activity and water disturbances, while reducing wave slam impact. The result is enhanced safety, reduced fatigue and great comfort for crews in all conditions.
“We’re thrilled to join forces with Salmon Marine to expand access to our proven marine technologies,” said Alvaro Vaselli, President and CEO of SKYDEX. “Together, we’re equipping boat builders and crews with solutions that deliver unmatched protection, so they can focus on performance without compromising safety.”
