Our calculations department handles our masts conception and
manufacture follow-up.

racing industry) for more complete calculations.
Lorima : about 30 employees, spread over 3 workshops:
Spars manufacture starts with tube lay-up. Starting from raw material cutting, then followed by tool preparation, lay-up and debulking phases, ending with tool closing. The mast is laid from 0.2 to 0.6mm thick layers and patches. These delicate stages together with the curing cycle ensure the quality of our mast tubes.
Assembly, with 6 persons, takes care of the precise task of transforming a tube into a finished mast. Fittings are either laminated, bonded or bolted mechanically to the mast according projects needs.
The workshop painting/completion covers sanding, painting and completion of our masts. With 37 meters long drying paint booth and two experienced painters, this workshop ensures perfect quality finish to our products.
