    For nearly 180 years the name
    Stone has been synonymous
    with the highest standards of
    propeller design and manufacture.
    Today Stone Marine Propulsion,
    as the company is now known,
    is part of the Stone Marine
    Group which, through its various
    companies provides a complete
    design, manufacture, service and
    repair package to vessel owners,
    designers and constructors.

    THE COMPANY
    Stone Marine Propulsion specialises
    in the design and manufacture
    of propellers and sterngear for
    commercial and naval vessels of
    all types and sizes. Highly trained
    and experienced specialists in
    all aspects of propeller design
    and construction, including
    hydrodynamics, metallurgy,
    propeller technology and naval
    architecture use their knowledge
    and state of the art computer
    programs to ensure that the
    propellers designed and built by
    the company are the very best
    available anywhere in the world.
