Hemisphere: Lorima Carbon Masts
June 15, 2012
Lorima, a 10-year-old company that specializes in carbon composite masts and spars, is located in a former submarine facility, which played a key role during World War II. The bomb-resistant facility built by the Germans to conceal their U-boats during the war, closed as a French Navy facility in the early 1990s. It is now home to various businesses, including the company that was contracted to build the main mast of the world’s largest catamaran.
