Blue Wave Rigging Hardware A/S is a third-generation, family-owned manufacturing business founded in 1932, operating from a production facility in Haderslev, Denmark.

50 plus dedicated and skilled employees, some with over 40 years of experience in the field, indicate a focus on marine projects

Blue Wave Manufacturing Facts and Features:

  • Blue Wave is one of the world's largest high-quality, stainless steel rigging hardware manufacturers.
  • Their production range has developed from shackles and thimbles to include stainless steel wire fittings from 2mm-36mm diameter and a comprehensive rod rigging program.
  • World-renowned brand development through consistent investment in high-tech production machinery to satisfy the ever-increasing marine industry requirements.
  • Efficient production, good design, low weight and optimal strength are the main principles driving their products to market.
  • All their stainless steel raw material is thoroughly tested to ensure that it has the highest possible corrosion resistance compatible with a marine environment:
  • Stainless Steel Grades and Certificates - PREN Pitting Resistance Equivalent PREN =% Cr + ( % Mo x 3,3 ) + ( % N x 16 )
  • PREN is a guideline formula for calculating stainless steel's properties and resistance to pitting. Molybdenum and Nitrogen content has a considerable effect on stainless steel's corrosion resistance.

Blue Wave tests all its stainless raw materials with an X-ray gun to ensure that they achieve the desired quality and corrosion resistance.
