Continual Innovation
The team behind Wilks products continues to invest in developing the capabilities of themselves, the quality of the products and the efficiency of the production processes. This includes staff training and development, and machinery upgrades.
Wilks fendering is designed to be the best in its category. The team behind the products keep on innovating and improving to ensure that this remains the case.
Exceptional Service
The manufacturing of Wilks products are done at one production hub in the UK. This enables you to receive fendering with guaranteed quality and ongoing communication throughout product development and future orders.
As the Wilks brand continues to grow worldwide, the associated policy of customer care and service will never waiver and the values of a family run company, how Wilks’ started, will always be maintained.
In House Tooling Facilities
In the UK, the in-house tooling facilities ensures that customers can be offered added support from the early stages of product development through to manufacture.
The ability to extrude custom-made profiles in a spectrum of colours to a customer’s individual requirements ensure that promises can be met and the highest performing products possible can be delivered, in order to meet customer needs.
Working with leading boat brands
With over 50 years of manufacturing experience, Wilks fendering and rub rails are trusted globally by boat owners and builders alike. For example, De Antonio has recently used Wilks Click 80 on their D37 Alinghi Redbull racing. Our recent collaboration with Askleddan, resulted in a sleek custom Click profile, well-suited for their needs.
