Centek Marine: A Legacy of Innovation in Marine Exhaust and Ventilation Systems

For over six decades, Centek Marine has stood as a beacon of innovation and quality in the marine industry, evolving from humble beginnings to become the global leader in fiberglass exhaust and ventilation systems. Founded in 1962 in Boca Raton, Florida, as Vernay Products, the company's initial focus on fiberglass marine mufflers laid the groundwork for a legacy of excellence.

The introduction of the Vernatone muffler

The introduction of the Vernatone muffler quickly solidified Vernay's reputation, establishing a benchmark for performance and reliability that continues to resonate with boat builders today. This pivotal product propelled Vernay into supplying exhaust solutions to prestigious Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and a vast network of distributors, serving the refit and marine aftermarket.

1967 through the mid-1970s

In 1967, Vernay expanded its product line with the introduction of Vernatube "wet" exhaust tubing, a crucial addition that complemented their existing muffler offerings. The mid-1970s marked a significant technological advancement with the adoption of filament winding for Vernatube production, a method that remains integral to their manufacturing process, ensuring consistent quality and durability. This commitment to innovation and product excellence garnered worldwide recognition.

Mid 1970s thru 1994

The Vernalift muffler, launched in 1975, catered to the growing demand for efficient exhaust solutions for generators and small auxiliary sailboat engines, further expanding Centek's product portfolio. The subsequent decades witnessed substantial growth, both domestically and internationally, necessitating a larger facility. In the late 1980s, all operations were consolidated into a new 60,000 square foot plant in Thomasville, Georgia. In 1994, Vernay Products officially rebranded as Centek Industries, Inc., marking a new era of expansion and leadership.

Centek acquired Viking Marine Exhaust in 2023

Under the strategic guidance of CEO Bill Hodges, Centek has continued to evolve, adapting to the ever-changing needs of the marine industry. Recognizing the importance of comprehensive marine solutions, Centek strategically expanded its offerings to include marine ventilation products through the acquisition of Delta-T Systems. This move solidified Centek’s position as a holistic provider of critical marine systems. Further expanding its capabilities, Centek acquired Viking Marine Exhaust in 2023, adding metal riser fabrication to its portfolio, enhancing its ability to provide custom solutions.
