and stripes and STEARNS |
| Complimentary partners exist
in all walks of life. The literary Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson,
Marika Kilius and Hans-Juergen Baumler, and Christo and Jeanne-Claude
are just a few examples of well-known combinations. Existing in
industry are McDonald's and Coca Cola. Each one by itself may
be a strong force, but together their success multiplies. Each
one gains strength from the other. This is an indicator of the
relationship between SECUMAR and its American partner, STEARNS.

| Initial contacts between the
two companies began in the early 1990's. It was not long before
executives from both companies realized that close cooperation
would benefit both companies. SECUMAR was a world leader in the
field of inflatable life jackets, while STEARNS had an excellent
reputation in the production of foam life jackets. SECUMAR was
strong in the European market, and STEARNS was at the top of the
huge market in the United States. SECUMAR had experience with
the naval forces of many countries in Europe and in Asia. STEARNS,
on the other hand, knew the requirements of military crews and
coastguard vessels that had stars and stripes fluttering on their
stern.

SECUMAR Nautique
Its excellent design and the special soft foam SECU-foam are
the most striking characteristics of this inherent buoyancy
life jacket. Contrasting colours and high-class piping show
that this life jacket from the Stearns range is of top quality. |

SECUMAR Bravo
The filling of laminate foam and its close-fitting cut make
this brightly coloured life jacket by the inherent buoyancy
specialist STEARNS extremely snug. |

"Quality is our tradition,"
is the motto of the company from the state of Minnesota. This
statement, without hesitation, could be adopted by the SECUMAR
team from Germany. Hence, SECUMAR proudly offers foam lifejackets
under the label "SECUMAR by STEARNS." Additionally,
STEARNS has more diverse products available to the European market,
sold by SECUMAR. An example is the inflatable
kayak, Spree. The Spree sold so promisingly after its introduction
to the European market in the year 2000 that just one year later
three further models were brought into the SECUMAR product line.
