With
a surface area of more than 20,000 sq m, of which 8,500 sq m under
cover, the Alubat yard is located on two sites, at Fontenay Le Comte
and the main yard at Chateau d’Olonne..
There are 120 staff working full time at Alubat, with an average age of 33 and
10 years experience in the job. Staff turnover is very
low and there are no temporary or contract workers which
guarantees the continuity, training and experience of our
workers and assures the quality of the boats built at the
yard.
All the boat building work is undertaken internally from the sheet metalworking
shop, the paint shop, manufacture and installation of the
woodwork to the electrical circuits, plumbing and mechanical
and hydraulic systems. We only subcontract the installation
of the navigation equipment but this is also installed
on the premises.
This strategy enables us to monitor the full building process.
