Baltic Lifejackets Sweden

Baltic is Europe’s largest manufacturer of lifejackets and buoyancy aids, with a presence in 50 countries.

The products are manufactured in Hungary, Ukraine and Moldova. The Ukrainian factory, close to the Polish border, has managed to remain operational throughout the invasion and war.

The UK business has been in Hamble for 30 years and at Compass Point for the past 15.  UK activities are sales, distribution and repair.  Following Brexit, all sales to the EU are handled from Sweden and the UK exports to the rest of the world including Australia which is an important market for the company.

The EBC energy grant of £25,000 covered a 33-panel solar array scheduled for installation in December22/January23 as well as contributing to the EV charging point and LED lighting throughout the premises.

The solar panels should generate £11kW, enough to provide power to the site and with some surplus that can be sold on to the grid.
