Sugatsune's premium quality Lamp brand products for the marine sector will be exhibited for the first time in mainland Europe on Stand 01-211 at the METS International Marine Equipment Trade Show in Amsterdam between 15th and 17th November 2005.

Sugatsune's 3000-strong range includes: soft opening/closing and assisted lift door stays and hinges; numerous conventional hinges, including concealed and detent types; flush and conventional handles; latching systems; mechanical and magnetic catches; fasteners; casters; adjustable feet; drawer slides; locks; brackets and shelving systems.

The company's principal products are available in both 304 and 316 grade stainless steel for use in food processing, marine or aggressive operating environments.

In addition, considerable attention has been paid to aesthetics in order to ensure the optimum combination of fit, form and function.

Accordingly, Sugatsune Lamp brand products are just as suitable for fitting out multi-million-pound yachts as they are for seafood processing or onboard catering applications, where their resistance to contamination is underpinned by the ability to withstand repeated washdown conditions.

The company's attention to detail also brings an added dimension of sophistication to its products.

Sugatsune, for example, pioneered the development of modern soft close dampers through its patented Lapcon technology.

With more than 25% of its Japanese workforce devoted to design and development, the company, which recently established its UK operations in Henley-on-Thames, enjoys a hard-earned reputation for product excellence and innovation stretching back more than 75 years.
