Sealite’s advanced manufacturing facility in Tallinn, Estonia, is setting new standards for performance and efficiency in marine aids to navigation. By producing closer to key markets, the company is improving delivery times, strengthening its global supply network, and reinforcing its long-term commitment to smarter, more sustainable operations.

Delivering Faster, Smarter Service Across Europe 

Sealite’s advanced marine aids to navigation manufacturing facility in Tallinn, Estonia is operating at full capacity, strengthening the company’s ability to deliver buoy solutions efficiently and closer to where customers operate. This facility expands SPX Aids to Navigation’s global manufacturing footprint, which includes sites in the USA, Australia, and Finland, creating a stronger network that supports both regional and worldwide customer needs with greater agility and consistency. 

“With this facility, we’re able to support our European partners with faster response times and localized production, while increasing our agility to meet global demand,” said Michael Walker, Managing Director, APAC & ME Marine, SPX Aids to Navigation. 

Local Manufacturing with Global Impact 

Producing Sealite buoys in Europe shortens lead times, reduces shipping distances, and increases access to the most in-demand models. Local production also creates a smoother supply chain and more predictable delivery for projects across the region. Beyond Europe, the Tallinn operation strengthens the entire SPX Aids to Navigation network. It enables quicker responses to changing global demand and helps ensure Sealite products are available where and when they are needed most. 

Advanced Production for Proven Performance 

The Tallinn site integrates rotational molding technology and robotic automation to deliver precision, consistency, and durability across the full buoy range. Each product is molded from UV-stabilized virgin polyethylene in IALA-compliant colors to provide longevity and high visibility even in harsh marine environments. 

“The Tallinn site reflects our commitment to manufacturing excellence and to being closer to our customers,” said Vahur Vahkal, Buoy Production Manager, SPX Aids to Navigation Estonia. “By producing in Europe, we are enhancing delivery speed, flexibility, and overall reliability.” 

Collaboration That Drives Innovation 

The facility brings together Sealite and Sabik under one roof, combining expertise in buoy manufacturing and marine lantern assembly. This collaboration allows the teams to share knowledge, streamline operations, and deliver a more complete range of navigation solutions for customers worldwide.
