Unrivalled
heritage
Wescom Group’s marine brands have an unparalleled heritage. Among them, Pains Wessex holds the distinction of being the oldest marine distress signal brand, tracing its origins back to as early as 1620. In 1873, the company secured the first patent for a marine distress flare. The sinking of the Titanic in 1912 led to the implementation of SOLAS safety regulations, mandating the presence of pyrotechnics and other life-saving devices on all commercial ships. For over four decades, MRT Ltd has been at the forefront of manufacturing and supplying commercial man overboard safety solutions and marine safety equipment since 1975. ANP Pharma has rapidly emerged as one of the fastest-growing single-source suppliers of comprehensive marine medical solutions worldwide. As for our other products, perimeter lighting and food and water rations, they have been delivering reassurance and reliability even in the most challenging maritime environments.
