TIMBERLUX
JST is the highest quality teak best suited for marine use. Teak is known universally as the “King of Hardwoods” due to its outstanding colour, durability, strength and low weight. Teak is especially prized amongst boatbuilders for these qualities and has for centuries been the benchmark that defines a fine quality yacht. Teak is a natural product with a carbon neutral footprint so the more that is cut and planted the more carbon is absorbed by young growth. Teak does not require chemical or heat treatment to give its strength, durability and colour, it is comfortable underfoot in a huge range of temperatures and provides a sure footing on a pitching and rolling deck in either wet or dry conditions. JST is the best sustainable and certified teak available in the market right now. It has been obtained after many years of sourcing, researching and testing for the best teak to be used in the nautical industry. JST is FLEGT certified, therefore has the most complete certification in order to comply with European regulations (EUTR) and Great Britain (UKTR).

EMIGREEN
Emigreen® emission control solutions are always highly reliable, fully controllable and impressively efficient. Yet when it comes to luxury yachts, aesthetics are also important. The systems reduce exhaust noise, neutralise nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions and trap soot particles so they no longer find their way onto the deck, into the swimming pool and into the water around the yacht. This gives the yacht designer more freedom in the positioning of otherwise emission sensitive components. At Emigreen®, they are leaders in these developments. Their solutions use state-of-the-art technology to create high-performance exhaust silencing with integrated next-generation diesel particulate filter (DPF) and selective catalytic reduction (SCR) systems. As your global partner they are committed to continuous improvement and open communication.
