Zodiac Milpro

Zodiac Milpro originates from the Zodiac company, founded in 1896 and described as the pioneer of inflatable boat technology. The company holds numerous patents and trademarks, including shock mitigation seating systems, the DuraRib foam collar and the Coque Mach II hull design. Inflatable boats and RIB floaters are cold-glued and hand-assembled.

It operates five shipyards. Zodiac Española in Rosas, Spain, part of the group since 1999, assembles RIBs up to 11 m and manufactures all inflatables from 3.8 to 7 m, and is described as the largest inflatable boat factory in the world. Zodiac Hurricane Technologies in Canada designs and builds custom RHIBs; Zodiac of North America builds Jones Act-compliant boats in the US; Zodiac Milpro Australia has offered inflatables and RIBs since 1983 and builds ZH models in Caringbah, NSW; and Yachtwerft Meyer in Germany builds special boats. UK-based Vectis Marine Design joined the group in 2021. The legal entity is Zodiac Milpro International SASU, Paris.
