A Newcastle family firm behind one of the world’s leading maritime brands is making waves in the luxury yacht market.
Newcastle-based Solarglide, whose protective products are used in cruise, commercial and naval vessels globally, has launched a new division of the company and a brand of beautiful window blinds for yachts known as Pearl Pacific.
Founder and managing director Paul Pringle is the fourth generation of his family to work in the ship-building industry. Together with his dad Mike, from Blyth, who is CEO, they bring unrivalled understanding of the market.
“The Pearl Pacific ranges have been 18 months in development and have been a real labour of love, combining beautiful styles and finishes with an understanding of maritime design and construction and the quick turnaround required by builders and fitters,” said Paul.
“It was a natural next step for us. Since launching in a small office in 2008, we have become a leading player in marine window treatments for the commercial sector. We have expanded and moved into our premises in Hoults Yard where we are proud to maintain our links with the historically sea-faring city of Newcastle upon Tyne.
“The new division of the company moves us forward into a new market place and reinforces our family tradition of being involved in the maritime sector which I am very proud of.”
With its marine-expert design and project team, Pearl Pacific offers new-build yacht builders and owners a service specifically tailored to the unique challenges of yacht fitting with all the style choices you’d expect from truly high-end interior design.
The first ranges feature Venetian blinds in aluminium, wood and faux leather and a choice of premium and textured finishes, plus pleated blinds providing solutions to unusually shaped windows and skylights.
As a luxury brand the attention to detail is everything, with premium quality components, exceptional manufacturing quality and a customer service to match.
Pearl Pacific’s first design collections are named after famous yachting marinas:
- The Miami collection features aluminium blinds in textured finishes.
- The Monaco collection includes stylish solid wood blinds in walnut and light oak.
- The Marbella is a luxurious faux leather collection with a range of premium finishes
- The Medina range of stylish pleated blinds suited to unusual window shapes.
