Introduction & Contents

When Len Lewery started making Tufnol dinghy fi ttings back in 1946, not even
his inventive mind could have foreseen that his small business would develop to
become one of the leading marine equipment manufacturers in the world.
John Burton acquired Lewmar and embarked on a 20-year career, turning the
company into a world leader in modern yacht equipment. Lewmar attacked the
high-technology world of America’s Cup racing, supplying the fi rst AC winch
package to Korura V in c.1966/68.
Through a series of acquisitions and mergers in the latter decades of the
twentieth century, the Lewmar Range evolved to include rigging, windlass, steering,
hatch and portlight. Innovations included the Wavegrip Jaw, which won the battle
for the self-tailing winch market. Lewmar’s distribution extended around the globe,
and the expertise and success of the company won recognition with the attainment
of three Queen’s Awards.
Today Lewmar has transformed beyond recognition from the small company
established by Len Lewery and Leslie Marsh in 1950. Yet the spirit of innovation and
engineering excellence has remained constant. Today, Lewmar is the premier marine
equipment supplier, designing, manufacturing, and distributing innovative, high-quality
control solutions worldwide.
Manufacturing is located at two sites in the United Kingdom with sales offi ces in
Europe and USA and a worldwide network of agents and distributors. Recent
investments in sophisticated, state-of-the-art manufacturing equipment over the last
few years has been undertaken to enable Lewmar to offer consistently the highest
levels of quality in the industry.

With a portfolio of windlass, anchors, thrusters, hatches and portlights, glass & glazing, winches, hydraulics, hardware and steering systems, to suit
every boat from the smallest day fi sher to largest mega-yacht, Lewmar can supply a complete solution whatever your project and requirements.
