Made in France,
quality guaranteed
Total control
of our production
Over 45 years, the French company NVequipment has built an independent business model that combines traditional craftsmanship with industrial performance.
The NV brand is now a guarantee of precision know-how customised to each request or each project. A wide range of equipment for boats and crew is designed and manufactured entirely in-house, in the company’s design office, based in Saint-Gilles-Croix-de-Vie, between Nantes and La Rochelle. To do so, NV relies on the expertise of the various teams trained in several professions.
Our aim is to offer all boat owners the pleasure of sailing and freely enjoying their passion to the full.
Made in France by NVequipment means we can promise our customers, both manufacturers and retailers, products that include technicality, design and performance. All our products are not only fully designed, but also assembled and manufactured in our only production site, located in Saint-Gilles-Croix-de-Vie in the Vendée.
“We have set ourselves a high bar, which allows us to innovate and shake things up, year after year, and adapt to the demands of our customers and boat owners”, Pascal Cardi, director of NVequipment.
