About Sander Marine
Sander Marine GmbH & Co. KG, based in Bremen, manufactures and distributes valves, actuators and control systems for merchant and naval shipbuilding, offshore applications and industry. The product portfolio comprises more than 14,000 items, including shut-off and check valves, ball valves, butterfly valves, quick-closing valves, valve manifolds, naval valves to VG standards, as well as fire protection and building services components. Manufacturing is carried out by the partner company Göpfert AG Armaturenfabrik und Metallgießerei in Weddingstedt, which has its own design department, pattern-making and foundry for OEM and custom production from prototypes to series production. Materials include gunmetal (red brass), bronze, CuAl alloys (aluminium bronze) and stainless steel. The Autronic Reglersysteme product line has been developing electrohydraulic actuators since 1984, and every standardized test is performed on an in-house test bench. In addition, Sander Marine offers services such as installation, commissioning, repair, pre-docking survey, upgrades and maintenance contracts with a global agent network.

Materials & Processes
Gunmetal (red brass)
Used for valves such as quick-closing valves and foam water monitors, corrosion-resistant in marine applications.
Bronze
Material for valves and firefighting components such as the foam water monitor MX 2000.
CuAl alloys (aluminium bronze)
For ANSI valves under heavy stress and high corrosion exposure.
Stainless steel (stainless steel)
Used for quick-closing valves in demanding applications.

Additional services
Quality
Sander Marine conducts extensive testing before market launch, including pressure, shock, noise and vibration tests, material inspection, antistatic tests, x-ray analyses, acceptance and function tests as well as dye penetrant testing. Every actuator of the Autronic product line leaves the factory only after passing a test on an in-house test bench.
