Published on: 15/11/2017 Updated on: 20/02/2025

The opening of the 30th International Boat Show in Amsterdam, the METS, is very close. From Nov. 14 to 16, MAFRA will present marine professionals with important innovations, all of which are already available on the market, to achieve amazing results in terms of cleaning, polishing and sanitizing a wide variety of types of boats

From Tuesday, Nov . 14 , to Thursday, Nov. 16, MAFRA reminds all operators specializing in the branch of marine accessories and services not to miss the 30th edition of one of the biggest and most anticipated B2B events of the year, namely the METS which will take place at the RAI exhibition center in Amsterdam.

The METS (Marine Equipment Trade Show), it should be remembered, is among the most important international trade shows reserved for marine industry professionals and is organized by Amsterdam RAI in cooperation with the Council of Marine Industry Associations (ICOMIA). There are about 1,400 exhibiting companies, and the target visitors are mainly yacht builders, naval architects, shipyards, distributors, dealers, trade operators and marine equipment manufacturers from all over the world.

MAFRA could not not be there

In a context such as this, MAFRA cannot miss it because it has the opportunity to show and let international professionals experience firsthand the commitment the company devotes to renewing formulations related to the cleaning and protection of boats and the sanitization of various environments, as well as proposing new ones.

Among the latest MAFRA trends, nanotechnology also involves the nautical field. In this sense, Shelly, the effective cleaner specifically for neoprene and Hypalon inflatable boats, is one of the products suitably modified with the addition of new protectives, polymers and nanotec technology. Dinghy is specific for cleaning all types of sails (carbon, nylon, dacron...). Its effectiveness is also testified by Andrea Pendibene, athlete of the 2017 MiniTransat, the "extreme" regatta in which he also participated in 2007, 2011 and 2015.

Caravel is a neutral PH shampoo suitable for cleaning fiberglass boats and inflatable boats of all types. Sealy, also available in trigger spray so it can be added with the new protective DPDs, is ideal for polishing and protecting the inflatable boat in one step.

Regarding room and cabin sanitizers, MAFRA Fantasies by Elisir is a line of super-concentrated and refined essences with long persistence (guaranteed duration of at least 3 days), capable of releasing truly unique fragrances based on pure essential oil.

All MAFRA products are available on the website www.boatpassion.com along with video tutorials, which best explain their proper use.

A point of reference since time immemorial, including in boating

Each MAFRA formulation has complete safety data sheets at the 17 points required by European and global standards, and the company also holds all quality certifications such as ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001. Each solution is not multi-purpose, but expressly dedicated to the individual operation to be performed, such as steel cleaning, polish polishing of hulls, cleaning for dead or living masonry and works, cleaning for rubber tubulars, cleaning and maintenance oil for TEC surfaces, treatments for cushions, whether they are made of sky or PVC, synthetic or natural fabric. Plus: products for the maintenance and cleaning of inboard, inboard-outboard and outboard engines.

MAFRA challenges the oceans at MiniTransat 2017

MAFRA is the first private company to sponsor a special Navy boat, the Pegaso ITA 883, piloted solo by athlete Andrea Pendibene, at the MiniTransat 2017, one of the most famous regattas in the world and also the most difficult for a sailor. The competition, which began on October 1, 2017 in the waters of La Rochelle, France, will end in the Caribbean, more precisely in Le Marin, Martinique. Having concluded the first leg in mid-October with the arrival in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, on November 1 everyone will be back on the starting line for the second leg, a 2,700-mile course, destination Caribbean!
