About  –  Engineering Process

Built upon a 60+ year history, the name Centek has become synonymous with quality for naval architects, refitters, and boat builders across the globe.

Our experienced engineering team designs, on average, one new product every single day. Today, the exhaust and ventilation system product catalogs contains over 30,000 parts; each design began as a custom engineered part, and this continues to be our specialty.

If you do not see what you need in our catalog, our experienced team can engineer a custom system to meet your needs. While the parts are different, our engineers typically follow a similar process, which has been refined over the past 60 years, as depicted below.
