Navalis Group: how a Baltic shipbuilding company Is charting new horizons

When it comes to shipbuilding, bridge construction, and offshore platforms, companies from the Baltic region rarely come to mind as industry leaders. But maybe they should. Navalis Group, a company from Estonia, has spent over two decades proving that true engineering begins with people who love what they do.

Founded in Estonia more than 20 years ago, Navalis Group now confidently operates in Latvia, Lithuania, France, Germany, Finland, Denmark, Turkey, and the Netherlands – and is actively steering its course toward North America.

To strengthen cooperation with major clients and improve operational efficiency, Navalis Group has recently opened representative offices in Germany and the Netherlands. This move helps the company stay closer to key markets and better respond to customer needs in real time.

What sets Navalis apart? In simple terms – the ability to respond quickly, deliver high-quality results, and never shy away from a challenge. From hull assembly to cruise ship interiors, from complex bridge components to engine repairs – the team tackles it all. Ongoing development of in-house expertise and strong collaborations within the market allow Navalis Group to constantly expand its range of services.

This mindset is exactly what has helped steadily grow into one of the leading shipbuilding companies in the region. Today, the team includes over 250 professionals – welders, designers, engineers, technicians. And these aren’t just skilled workers – they’re the kind of people who can fix an engine on-site, restore a part with laser cladding while it’s still in place, and find ways to make ship cabins more livable. Long-term subcontracting agreements with global leaders in shipbuilding give the team the chance to hone their skills on major projects they can truly be proud of.

The last few years have brought significant growth for Navalis. New services have been added, including:

- Thermal and acoustic insulation for ships
 

- On-site precision machining – no dismantling, no delays
 

- Laser cladding of worn components
 

- Full engine overhauls, including custom parts made from composite materials
 

- Electrical work – from panels to full shipwide systems
 

But the company isn’t just focused on the present. Eco-technologies are being introduced, safe materials are being prioritized, and a sustainability department has been launched. Because working at sea is always about responsibility – to the environment, to people, and to the future.

You can meet Navalis at top industry events – from SMM in Hamburg to the WorkBoat Show in New Orleans. These trips aren’t just about contracts. They’re about exchanging ideas, learning from the global community, and turning fresh insights into real-world innovations.

And when it comes to marketing – it’s anything but boring. A new website, active social media, and a transparent communication style. Navalis doesn’t try to “look” like something it’s not. It simply shows things as they are: the daily work at shipyards, real people, real challenges.

Most importantly, this isn’t a story about a faceless corporation. It’s a story about people. About engineers working with steel and imagination. About managers who focus on results, not just reports. About a team that believes there’s a better way to build – sustainable, modern, and deeply human.

Navalis Group is about progress. And about how passion for your craft can take a company from a small country to the global stage.
