All four companies have been very focused on attaining a higher level of quality without sacrificing the value position they have earned over the years. A major investment in facilities and equipment has given the group an edge over the competition.

Utilization of a Computerized 5-Axis Mill Router combined with new proprietary CAD/CAM software allows the molds and patterns to be so precise that all parts will fit together with a minimum of labor and finishing. Not only does this process result in significant savings of time in assembly, but it also increases the quality of the parts; thereby providing a superior product overall.

Quality enhancements have also been made in the cabinet areas with the use of computerized CNC routers. These machines are calibrated to exacting standards that give you a perfect cut every time. The waste factor is almost nonexistent, as the computer will utilize all the sheet fed product, whether it is a piece of furniture-grade hardwood or a sheet of durable Corian®.

We have also incorporated a new computerized fabric cutting machine. This workhorse can cut almost anything, from fiberglass to upholstery, precisely and without waste. This allows woven fiberglass kits to be cut in a fraction of the time as the labor has been significantly reduced and the quality increased.

All of our companies take advantage of fabricating their own metal rail systems and supporting metal structures. Whether they are working in high quality, stainless steel or polished, anodized aluminum, each company uses top quality rolled and flat stock. Utilizing precise jigs, each company can bend and weld the materials to make an exact fit on every piece. Whether it is a cockpit arch or full tuna tower, the savings can be considerable over outside suppliers.

Our commitment to purchase state of the art equipment allows us to pass on significant savings to our customers. There is always strength in numbers, and the Luhrs Marine Group, with joint purchasing power can negotiate to ensure they are receiving the best pricing in the industry for all purchases. When it comes to expensive components such as engines and generators, the savings can make the difference.
