High industry standard accreditation for PANDUIT™ solutions wins shipbuilding contracts

April 28, 2007 (PRLEAP.COM) Business News
PANDUIT™ is winning major contracts to supply solutions for shipbuilding projects in part due to the raft of industry accreditations.

Key PANDUIT products used in shipbuilding hold the following industry accreditions: ABS (American Bureau of Shipping) for stainless steel cable ties and power connectors, B.V. (Bureau Veritas) for nylon and steel cable ties, D.N.V. (Det Norske Veritas) for nylon ties and accessories and stainless steel cable ties, Germanischer Lloyd and Lloyds Register of Shipping for stainless steel cable ties and Registro Italiano Navale for nylon and steel cable ties and steel strapping. Many PANDUIT products also carry C.S.A. (Canadian Standard Association) and UL (Underwriters Laboratories) approval.

Fincantieri SpA, one of the world’s leading shipbuilding concerns, chose PANDUIT to supply extra heavy and super heavy ball locking stainless steel cable ties for their cruise ships. Adriano Bado, Engineer at Fincantieri says, “[PANDUIT] PAN-STEEL™ cable ties have smooth, rounded edges to prevent damage to cables. Strict tests, certified by independent testing facilities have confirmed this and the cable ties’ compliance with precise international standards.”

PANDUIT is exhibiting at the 21st international Nor-Shipping exhibition and conference at Norway Trade Fairs, just outside of Oslo on 12-15 June 2007.
