We’re very proud of what we’ve achieved so far and, as we celebrate over 50 years in business, we are happy to say that Pinmar is going from strength to strength.
Pinmar was founded in Mallorca, Spain in 1975 as a specialist yacht painting company focused on the new breed of superyachts over 40m. In 2012, Pinmar merged with its main local competitor Rolling Stock to form the Global Yachting Group, since renamed to GYG Ltd, which has grown to become one of the largest and most comprehensive service groups in the superyacht industry.
As part of GYG, Pinmar group 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’re also very proud to have developed the Pinmar Paint Standard, our industry's first comprehensive statement of how a client's expected paint finish should be measured and agreed. We continue to refine this Standard with the introduction of new products and application technologies.
We’ve refinished 100s of the world’s finest yachts and increasingly we’re involved in finishing some of the largest and most prestigious New Builds in many of the leading superyacht building yards.
Over the last 5 decades, Pinmar has expanded its operations across Europe including offices in Palma de Mallorca, Barcelona and La Ciotat, and established US operations with bases at Fort Lauderdale, West Palm Beach and Savannah, Georgia, as well as establishing partnerships with the largest New Build shipyards.
As the size and complexity of new superyachts continues to increase, Pinmar has also increased its capabilities, with the average yacht size for projects increasing from 55 metres ten years ago to nearly 80 metres presently.
Today, Pinmar is recognised as the market leading brand in superyacht painting with a proven record of premium quality. 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.
Research & Development
Pinmar has played a key role in recent years in driving the adoption of the latest technologies and application methods within the industry. Our equipment is developed to accommodate advancing technology whilst always being conscious of the environment.
We are invested in sharing technologies across all our locations that yield a positive impact for the shipyards, the clients, the environment and better overall long-term performance for the yacht owners.

Alex brings more than 30 years of global business development and production management experience to Pinmar and is most recognised in the marine industry for his previous roles at MB92 Barcelona and more recently at Jotun’s global yachting division. During his 12 years in senior management at MB92, Alex was instrumental in delivering rapid, sustainable business growth while achieving customer quality expectations, and was part of the original team who formed the ICOMIA Superyacht Refit Group. His specialist role at Jotun focused on the development of their global yachting division, including roll-out strategies in emerging markets such as the US and Asia. Alex will be responsible for Pinmar’s business operations in the USA and will provide greater synergy between our US and European operations. Alex will be sharing his time between Pinmar’s main USA bases at Rybovich West Palm Beach, Derecktors Fort Lauderdale and Savannah Yacht Centre as he looks to expand the company’s turnkey services with its existing partners and across the American superyacht market.
Manu Ayme joined Rolling Stock in 2006 in a logistical support role during the construction of two new builds in the South of Spain.

During his time in Palma he held a number of management positions within the company, and after the merger with Pinmar in 2012 to create GYG he was co-heading the Groups’ global production division. His vast 'hands on' technical experience and management skills led to his latest role of Sales Director, where he applies his knowledge to perfectly understand our clients’ needs and can fulfil their expectations.
