Alupro has worked with Meyer Turku for many years and supplied Droplet Separators and Marine Louvers for various ships. One of the latest is the world's biggest cruise ship, Royal Caribbean’s Icon of The Seas. This collaboration represents not only high technical expertise but also the ability to operate in one of the most demanding industrial environments in the world.
In industrial production and the maritime industry, suppliers are expected to demonstrate flexibility, delivery reliability, and high-quality communication in order to respond effectively to their customers’ changing circumstances. Shipbuilding projects are large-scale, multi-year endeavors where even small components play a critical role in safety, functionality, and energy efficiency. For suppliers, this means understanding the shipyard’s processes and being able to react swiftly when schedules, specifications, or project scopes change.
“Our decades-long customer relationship with Meyer Turku has been extremely smooth. At Alupro, we understand our customers’ requirements, and taking them into account has been a central focus of our operations,” says Alupro’s Sales Manager Jonne Salminen. “When working with world-class shipyards, continuous development is a must. We actively listen to feedback and look for ways to improve both our products and processes.”
Alupro values long-term collaboration built on open communication, development-oriented partnerships, and mutual commitment to delivering added value. The goal is to be more than just a supplier. “We strive to be a reliable and proactive partner,” Salminen emphasizes. “For us, that means anticipating needs, keeping promises, and contributing solutions that support the customer’s goals — not just delivering products.”
In the maritime industry, ventilation components such as droplet separators and louvers play an essential role in ensuring energy efficiency, safety, and the durability of onboard systems. Alupro’s products are designed for harsh marine environments, where moisture, salt, air pressure, and varying temperatures challenge materials and structures. Delivering to major shipbuilding projects requires precision, documentation, and a readiness to meet strict quality standards.
Turku Shipyard, also known as Meyer Turku, is one of the world's largest and most advanced builders of large cruise ships and passenger-ferries. The luxury cruise ships built in Turku are known globally for their state-of-the-art technology, bold innovations, and visually striking design. Over the decades, hundreds of vessels have been completed, and the shipyard’s order book continues to include some of the industry’s most ambitious projects. According to Meyer Turku, the secret to their success lies in their employees and their ecosystem of trusted partners.
For Alupro, these partnerships are more than business transactions — they are opportunities to help shape the next generation of maritime solutions. The company continues to invest in product development, digital tools, and production technology to meet the evolving needs of modern shipbuilding.
As the maritime sector moves toward greener and more energy-efficient solutions, collaboration becomes even more crucial. Alupro aims to support shipyards in achieving these goals through high-performance products and a partnership approach built on trust, transparency, and continuous improvement.
