AMEL

Since its inception nearly 60 years ago, AMEL has been dedicated to crafting sailing yachts that embody robustness, comfort, and ease of handling. Founded by Henri Amel, the company has maintained a commitment to quality and safety, ensuring that sailing enthusiasts can embark on adventures across the world's seas. The current models, including the AMEL 50 and AMEL 60, reflect this legacy while integrating modern advancements. The company employs around 150 skilled professionals across more than 30 different trades, with a significant portion of the yacht construction taking place in-house. AMEL emphasizes collaboration with local suppliers to enhance quality and efficiency. In addition to its main site in Périgny, AMEL has teams in La Rochelle, Martinique, and Hyères, providing repair and maintenance services. The company is also focused on knowledge transfer and skill development, implementing Lean management practices and creating mentorship roles to guide new employees in the AMEL craftsmanship.
