Finsulate One of Business Worldwide Magazine's Top 20 Most Innovative Companies to Watch in 2024
Finsulate's toxin-free antifouling wrap is reshaping its sector by offering an eco-friendly, cost-effective alternative to traditional antifouling paints.

Finsulate is driving success stories whilst championing a broader shift towards sustainability within the maritime industry. Key impacts include:
