Würth arrives at Navalia 2026 with specialized solutions for the mairitime industry
The company will present a proposal focused on operational efficiency, process optimization, and specialized technical solutions for shipyards, the marine supply chain, professional boating, and maritime-related companies.
Würth will take part in Navalia 2026, held on 19, 20 and 21 May in Vigo, reinforcing its commitment to the naval and maritime sector with a proposal focused on operational efficiency, process optimization, and specialized technical solutions for shipyards, the marine supply chain, professional boating, and maritime-related companies.
During the event, the company will present a selection of solutions designed to address the sector’s real-world needs, including:
• Marine and naval supplies for maintenance and repair
• Technical solutions aimed at improving operational efficiency in workshops and shipyards
• Material and tool management systems to streamline procurement processes
• Professional services designed to enhance safety and productivity in maritime environments
“Participating in Navalia allows us to strengthen our relationship with the sector and share our expertise in technical solutions for the naval industry. Our goal is to support our customers in their day-to-day challenges and deliver solutions that truly make a difference,” says Alfonso Segura.
Varifix®: Transforming technical flooring installation in the mairtime industry
A key highlight of Würth’s presence at Navalia 2026 will be the introduction of Varifix®, a technical flooring system for vessels that offers a modern alternative to traditional welded structures.
For years, technical flooring on ships has relied on welded steel structures, a process that involves:
• High dependency on skilled welding labour
• Long and often unpredictable installation times
• Risk of thermal distortion in steel components
• Complex processes that are difficult to scale
• Additional costs whenever post-installation modifications are required
Varifix® replaces this approach with a standardized mechanical assembly system, enabling the construction of strong, precise, and fully functional structures using:
• Standardized steel profiles
• Mechanical connection components
• Dry assembly with bolted fixings
• Modular configurations adaptable to different geometries
Why Varifix® is a game-changer for shipyards and marine maintenance
Its key benefits include:
• Reduced reliance on certified welders, improving planning flexibility and minimizing downtime due to workforce shortages
• Faster, simpler installation by eliminating welding, thermal control, grinding, and cooling processes
• Greater predictability and control on site thanks to a standardized, repeatable system
• Fewer assembly errors, using only 5 to 6 main components
• Simplified logistics and inventory management, reducing operational complexity
• A modular, removable system that allows modifications, levelling adjustments, or component replacement without dismantling the existing structure
The result is a modular, robust, and adaptable structure suitable for a wide range of geometries, installed without any thermal processes.
Digital Engineering for Full Project Control
A key differentiator in Würth’s approach is that Varifix® goes beyond product supply.
The company offers a fully digital, applied engineering service that supports customers throughout the entire project lifecycle.
Based on drawings and technical requirements, the engineering team delivers:
• Structural calculations
• Full 3D modelling of the solution
• Pre-installation technical validation
• Manufacturing and assembly drawings
• Precise material breakdowns
• Step-by-step installation manuals
This integrated workflow enables a seamless transition from engineering to on-site execution, eliminating ambiguity and ensuring full control over timelines, materials, and costs.
With Varifix® as one of the key highlights of its presence at Navalia 2026, Würth invites industry professionals to visit its stand and discover how the combination of engineering, standardization, and mechanical assembly is reshaping how work is done in the naval sector.
All of this forms part of its broader portfolio of solutions aimed at improving efficiency and resource management across shipyards and maritime environments.
