HARBO Inc., a global leader in rapid-response spill containment solutions, today announced the establishment of its European manufacturing arm through a strategic production partnership with ESAT Les Ormeaux in France. The initiative positions ESAT as HARBO’s dedicated final assembly and manufacturing facility for the European market, significantly expanding the company’s operational footprint across the EU. This milestone reinforces HARBO’s long-term commitment to localized manufacturing, enhanced supply chain resilience, and faster response capabilities for European customers operating in marine, port, energy, aquaculture, environmental response, and industrial sectors. Located in the South of France, ESAT Les Ormeaux operates under the umbrella of Unapei Alpes Provence, a respected French organization dedicated to supporting inclusion and employment opportunities for individuals with disabilities. By establishing final assembly

operations at ESAT, HARBO integrates high-quality European manufacturing standards with meaningful social impact, aligning industrial excellence with responsible business practices.

Under this structure, ESAT Les Ormeaux will serve as HARBO’s official European final product assembly hub, producing the company’s flagship rapid-deployment containment systems, including the HARBO T6 UHD Boom and related response kits. The facility will handle final assembly, quality control, packaging, and regional distribution, ensuring compliance with European standards and dramatically improving lead times across the continent.

“Establishing a European manufacturing arm is a critical evolution for HARBO,” said Igor Kwiatkowski, CEO and President of HARBO Inc. “This move strengthens our ability to serve European partners with speed, reliability, and localized support while maintaining the rigorous performance standards our customers expect.”

HARBO’s patented containment technology is designed to bridge the gap between spill detection and large-scale response, enabling first responders, ports, marinas, energy operators, and environmental agencies to deploy effective containment within minutes. The lightweight, rapidly deployable systems are engineered for hydrocarbons, chemicals, and floating debris applications, making them versatile tools for both emergency response and preventative readiness programs.

The European manufacturing arm supports HARBO’s broader global growth strategy while reinforcing its mission to deliver innovative, reliable, and sustainable spill containment solutions worldwide.

With operational hubs in North America, the Middle East, and now Europe, HARBO continues to expand its international footprint, partnering with leading response organizations, environmental agencies, and industrial operators to improve preparedness and minimize environmental impact.
