Inflatable SUP, Kayak & RIB
OEM/ODM Manufacturer

“We came to Aquafarer with a sketch on a napkin and a list of requirements. Eight months later, we had a production-ready product passing CE certification on the first attempt.”

A European startup with a novel SUP design approached Aquafarer for ODM manufacturing. The Aquafarer R&D team took the concept through CAD design, FEA structural analysis, hydrodynamic simulation, mold creation, prototype fabrication, and production tooling. The startup's founder visited Qingdao three times during the process. The final product passed CE certification without any modifications — a result the founder attributes to Aquafarer's engineering team understanding European regulatory requirements from the start.

“The level of NDA protection and IP security at Aquafarer gives us confidence to share our proprietary designs. They treat our IP as if it were their own.”

A US-based marine equipment company with proprietary valve technology needed a manufacturing partner who could protect their IP while producing at scale. After auditing five Chinese manufacturers, they selected Aquafarer based on the factory's IP protection protocols, secure design file handling, and willingness to sign strict NDAs. The partnership has produced three product lines over four years with zero IP incidents.
