CEM at the Genoa International Boat Show: Italian Technology at the Service of Yachting

From October 1 to 6, CEM Elettromeccanica will be among the main protagonists of the 66th edition of the Genoa International Boat Show. The Modena-based company will bring its complete range of pumps, pressure sets, blowers, and water and air handling systems to its booth, located at position TD20-Upper Hall B, making CEM a reliable technological partner for yacht and superyacht builders.

CEM Elettromeccanica specializes in the design and production of pumps, pressurization systems, and blowers for the marine sector. For the company, the Genoa Boat Show represents much more than a simple exhibition showcase: it is a privileged opportunity to meet its clients, exchange ideas with shipyards, and develop new relationships with marine industry professionals. This strategy, which CEM has followed for years, is part of an increasingly marked internationalization process.

Over Fifty Years of Marine Experience

CEM Elettromeccanica was founded in 1970 as a manufacturer of electric pumps and DC motors also intended for the marine sector. In over fifty years of business, the company has progressively expanded its product range, transforming into a technological partner for builders of pleasure, fishing, and military vessels, including medium and large-sized units. Today, its production encompasses a particularly broad portfolio of solutions: DC and AC electric pumps, magnetic drive pumps, pumps with manual and electromagnetic clutches, hydraulic motor-driven pumps, pressure sets, pressure booster units, diesel motor pumps, hand pumps, 12 and 24-volt electric motors, and centrifugal and axial blowers. This completeness allows CEM to serve numerous onboard systems, from water management and ventilation to dedicated safety and emergency applications.

Invisible Yet Crucial Components

Aboard a modern yacht, numerous systems must operate reliably and continuously without taking center stage. Pumps, pressure sets, and blowers belong precisely to this category of components: technical elements that are often invisible to the owner and guests, yet crucial to the proper operation of the vessel.

Particularly on superyachts, where the size, comfort, and complexity of onboard systems increase considerably, water and air handling becomes even more critical. CEM has developed a range specifically geared toward these requirements. Its solutions can be utilized, among various applications, for bilge pumping, firefighting, pressurized water distribution, deck and chain washing, fuel transfer, and emergency applications.

Special attention is dedicated to ventilation. CEM offers air handling systems designed for onboard environments, featuring solutions that include not only the blower itself, but also complete ventilation kits with anti-vibration mounts, fittings, and fire dampers. The goal is to achieve high performance while maintaining low noise levels, a particularly important aspect aboard yachts.

Made in Italy Quality

CEM’s manufacturing philosophy stems from a very concrete principle: on the open sea, the reliability and durability of marine components are not optional features, but essential requirements. For this reason, the company places the utmost importance on high-quality materials, in-house production, and certified testing. A significant portion of CEM’s added value derives precisely from its ability to handle design and manufacturing processes internally, with the objective of guaranteeing consistent performance even in a particularly demanding environment such as the marine setting.

This approach has allowed CEM to progressively establish itself in international markets. Over the years, the company has built an ever-expanding commercial network and has been chosen as a supplier by some of the world’s most prominent shipyards.

CEM Elettromeccanica Looks to the World

CEM’s participation in the Genoa Boat Show is part of an international trade fair calendar that also includes specialized events such as SMM in Hamburg and METSTRADE in Amsterdam. For CEM, these events serve as concrete tools to consolidate its presence in foreign markets and maintain a direct relationship with shipyards, distributors, and industry operators.

International expansion is indeed one of the central pillars of the company’s growth. CEM’s strategy is not limited to a commercial presence, but aims at building a distribution network capable of ensuring technical support and product availability across various markets.
