Martin Säger, survey engineer at Wolz Nautic: The measurement of the templates clearly saved time.

Brothers Michael and Andreas Wolz manufactured 5,000 teak boat decks last year, a hand-crafted product with high requirements for quality. Their business, Wolz Nautic, employs 200 people and offers custom-designed and handcrafted decks for customers who expect absolute accuracy and attention to detail for their boats.

Each joint must resemble the other, and the deck’s exterior must be parallel to the glass-fiber reinforced plastic (GRP) on the vessels side. Orders for this deck speciality come from all over Europe. Most of the work is accomplished at the brothers’ workshops in Gaukönigshofen, Germany, but Wolz Nautic employees travel to the respective shipyard at least twice during a project run.
