What they make
According to their website, VA-Varuste is a Finnish manufacturer of custom marine textiles, founded in 1969, originally producing tents, car covers and bench cushions before moving into boat equipment. The company designs and builds boat canopies, seats, cushions/upholstery and protective covers, working directly with boat manufacturers using 3D design software and 3D scanning to develop covers alongside new boat models. Cutting of digitized patterns is automated, and cover frames are fabricated in-house from metal. Boat seats combine polyethylene bodies with aluminum frames (or alternative aluminum-tube or plywood constructions), offered in several models, including one with a patented four-position adjustable backrest and thigh support. Production runs from a 2,700 m² facility in Kuopio, Finland (built 2006, about 60 employees) and a 2,400 m² plant in Suwałki, Poland (opened 2017), together employing close to 200 textile specialists. Products are supplied to boat manufacturers in Finland, the Nordic countries and Central/Southern Europe, including Axopar, Beneteau, Jeanneau, Yamarin and Bayliner; the site also states ISO 9001 certification.
