"BLUENAV, cruise differently, cleanly, silently, and with ease
The concept of the company: Switch from thermal to electric propulsion in just a few seconds with BLUENAV's mild hybridization systems. BLUENAV is the first French manufacturer of electric propulsion for leisure boats, and stands out by offering new features, including hybridization. In its desire to support the energy transition of boats, BLUENAV has focused on propulsion, storage and on-board production of clean electrical energy, considering the various user constraints.
At Amsterdam's METSTRADE, BLUENAV presents the BLUESPIN electric thruster and its HMI.
The BLUESPIN: retractable electric propulsion system ready to be installed for new or old boats. It can be integrated to a boat already equipped with a thermal engine, to form a hybrid propulsion system, without requiring modifications to the boat's structure.
BLUESPIN exists in several power ratings, from 10 to 50kW, and several integration possibilities have been developed to ensure mechanical coherence: Outboard, In-board retractable, Stationary pod. The integration of the BLUESPIN allows an autonomy of 3 to 5 hours, at cruising speed, vibrations, noises and smells eliminated. The navigation takes place in a calm environment making it much more pleasurable.
HMI: connected system, which considers the physical data of current, position, speed, and assists the pilot in his energy choices, through an incentive and friendly interface.

Geneseas
Geneseas™ S represents the first solar, connected and autonomous robot, capable of collecting solid waste floating on the surface of aquatic environments as well as hydrocarbon iridescence thanks to a 100% natural filter. Equipped with an on-board probe, Geneseas™ S also allows real-time monitoring of certain water quality parameters in an area (pH, T degrees, Redox,...) and identification of potential pollution sources. Considered as a real small vacuum cleaner of the seas, Geneseas ™ S has two patents, one of which is European, allowing it to be unique and innovative for its suction and filtering system.
It thus represents an efficient and flexible solution for preserving aquatic areas of varying sizes such as ports, marinas, lakes, but also leisure clubs or industrial installations. Easy to use, Geneseas ™ S can be radio-controlled or set up via a web platform, to operate in complete autonomy. Once the robot is programmed, it proceeds to clean the registered area, while avoiding obstacles. Once it has completed its mission, Geneseas ™ S automatically returns to its home base, informing the operator by notification on the web platform or smartphone, so that the latter can come and empty the basket.

The ARBOR Group
The ARBOR Group transforms wood directly from the forest to the finished product, to design and manufacture plywood panels (technical and decorative) or bespoke products for industrial, boatbuilding and building purposes.
As major players in the timber-processing sector since 2002, the Toubois, Allin, Multideck Placages Déroulés du Gabon and Leroy Déroulage de Champagne companies announced in 2020 the creation of the Groupe ARBOR. The Groupe ARBOR was born from a desire to structure the group and thus consolidate knowledge and expertise in various sectors.
Since 1947, Toubois produces custom-built technical and decorative panels on small and medium production. For a hundred years, Allin produces high quality classic and technical plywood panels with sustained volumes.
New product: R'PLY
R'PLY is a new range of plywood that combine certified veneers and an innovative glue to replace a significant amount of the formaldehyde used in traditional glue. This progress is the result of a partnership that began in 2018 between Allin and ResiCare, a subsidiary of the Michelin group. It took 3 years to integrate the new glue into the plywood's manufacture.
