ABOUT US
The chosen partner of the world's largest yachts.
The Pinmar Story
We’re very proud of what we’ve achieved so far and, as we are now into our 47th year in business, we are happy to say that Pinmar is going from strength to strength. In a recent independent survey 92% of the industry said Pinmar was the leading paint company in the world. 97% said that our after sales service was excellent or good. This does not mean we rest on our laurels; we are totally committed to improving both quality and efficiency through continual innovation to meet the challenges of our evolving industry.
Pinmar sister companies include Pinmar Yacht Supply, our yacht chandlery and supply network, along with Technocraft, our in-house yacht scaffolding, containment and hardware removal business.
We’ve refinished 100s of the world’s finest yachts and increasingly we’re involved in finishing some of the largest and most exciting new builds in many of the leading superyacht building yards.
We’re also very proud to have developed the Pinmar Paint Standard, recently updated to version 2.0, our industry’s first comprehensive statement of how a client's expected paint finish should be measured and agreed.

The Pinmar Standard
As a superyacht owner or as a key member of the owner’s team, one of the biggest problems with coatings is laying out in advance what constitutes an acceptable or expected standard of finish. A pioneer in the coatings application industry, Pinmar decided to address this in 2011 with the introduction of its Pinmar Standard, which sought both to identify measurement methods and to specify acceptance criteria of how a client’s expected paint finish should be measured and agreed.
It was the first time such a defined process had been offered to the industry, and Pinmar continues to refine the standard in light of paint developments and advances, and with consideration to new colours and finishes as they become available to the market.
The most important elements behind the Pinmar Paint Standard are used to establish if:
- a) The chosen topcoat is fit for purpose
- b) The acceptance criteria can be achieved on the vessel, taking into account the environmental conditions available and the age and condition of the existing paint system
- c) The topcoats applied reach the expectations of the client
Pinmar believes this unique standard will give clients an even better understanding of the quality and performance of their paint work, together with improved peace of mind during the warranty period – and beyond.
The Pinmar Standard
An objective solution to a subjective problem
