Marine group…<br />
Ever since a century ago, when Nelson<br />
A. <strong>Taylor</strong> put the finishing touches on his first custom<br />
canvas piece, the <strong>Taylor</strong>H<strong>Made</strong> ® name has been<br />
known for its legendary quality, innovation, and<br />
unwavering commitment to customer satisfaction.<br />
Our company grew and expanded quickly, along<br />
with our quest for innovation in new applications,<br />
processes, and products — including the introduction<br />
of the first wraparound acrylic windshield for<br />
motor boats.<br />
Today, <strong>Taylor</strong>’s entrepreneurial spirit, high standards<br />
of excellence, and dedication to customer<br />
service have firmly established us as the world’s<br />
largest manufacturer of marine glazing systems and<br />
the undisputed leader in framed glass windshield<br />
technology. We also offer a large selection of<br />
custom-quality marine products, including canvas,<br />
deck hatches, portlights, and doors.<br />
But success has not made us complacent. Our goal<br />
is to continue to meet — and exceed — your expectations<br />
in the years ahead by providing innovative,<br />
high quality, state-of-the-art solutions to the boating<br />
industry’s toughest challenges... And that,<br />
clearly, gives you the OEM advantage.
<strong>Taylor</strong> <strong>Made</strong> <strong>Systems</strong> has unequaled experience<br />

for Luxury Boat Manufacturers<br />

Trend’s well-deserved reputation for producing glazing products of unrivaled<br />
quality has created a following for the company with many of the<br />
world’s leading yacht builders.<br />
Trend’s products and production processes are tailored to the needs<br />
of medium-volume builders of high-quality motor yachts. Trend is dedicated<br />
to meeting all the glazing requirements of its customers with a<br />
full line of top-quality windshields, windows, hatches, portlights, doors<br />
and sunroofs.<br />
In addition to the precision-made, optical quality safety glass that<br />
Trend produces in myriad sizes and shapes, the company has perfected<br />
the art of welding stainless steel to produce beautiful, continuous flowing<br />
seamless frames.<br />
Trend’s 12-acre site in Norfolk, England, houses both flat and curved<br />
tempered glass plants. State-of-the-art processing equipment includes<br />
custom built CNC machines to produce complex curved shapes, as well<br />
as the most advanced CNC grinding, polishing and drilling equipment,<br />
plus silk-screen printers.<br />
Trend’s in-house glass tempering and bending<br />
facilities, along with its incomparable<br />
skills in metal forming, enables the company to offer boatbuilders the<br />
greatest level of design flexibility. Plus, Trend’s ability to produce<br />
uniquely designed products in relatively short runs gives its customers<br />
custom quality with an economical advantage.<br />
Decades of experience plus continual investment in the newest design<br />
and processing technologies keep Trend at the forefront of marine glazing,<br />
meeting the industry’s needs for larger, sleeker, and more complex<br />
glazing products that take form and function to the highest levels.<br />
• Trend is the largest supplier of<br />
marine glazing systems in Europe<br />
and serves customers worldwide.<br />
• Trend specializes in high-performance<br />
glazing systems for medium-volume<br />
builders of luxury yachts.<br />
• Trend’s superior glass bending and metal forming skills can easily<br />
handle the most complex, high-style designs.<br />
• Trend has increased its glass making capacity, investing over $8 million<br />
between 1998 and 2004 in a second vertical glass bending machine, a<br />
new 36,000-sq.-ft. plant and advanced processing equipment.<br />
Trend Marine division of <strong>Taylor</strong> <strong>Made</strong> <strong>Systems</strong>,<br />
founded in 1973, has become the largest and fastest growing<br />
supplier of marine glazing systems in Europe.
<strong>Water</strong> <strong>Bonnet</strong> <strong>Manufacturing</strong> division of <strong>Taylor</strong> <strong>Made</strong><br />
<strong>Systems</strong> has over 50 years of experience manufacturing<br />
quality products for the Marine Industry.<br />
Founded in 1954, <strong>Water</strong> <strong>Bonnet</strong> had over 50 years of experience providing<br />
quality products to the Marine Industry before being acquired by<br />
<strong>Taylor</strong> <strong>Made</strong> in 2005. Originally manufacturing boat tops, thus the<br />
name <strong>Water</strong> <strong>Bonnet</strong>, they later added boat windshields, then windows.<br />
In 1980, they began producing windows for off-road vehicle manufacturers<br />
under the trade name Transwind, which then expanded to large onroad<br />
transportation vehicles.<br />
That long history and invaluable expertise remain intact as they join<br />
the group of <strong>Taylor</strong> <strong>Made</strong> Marine companies. Their specialty — providing<br />
top-quality, low-cost windshield systems for boats in the 16-26 ft.<br />
range — greatly complements and even enhances <strong>Taylor</strong>’s adeptness at<br />
meeting the needs of boatbuilders of every size, variety and style.<br />
With corporate offices located in Bradenton, Florida, about 35 miles<br />
south of Tampa, their focus has never been stronger than it is today.<br />
<strong>Water</strong> <strong>Bonnet</strong> currently supplies windshields to some of the top producers<br />
of fish & ski, runabout, and tow boats, while continuing to develop<br />
and improve their unique products — like their patented, budget-priced<br />
“ball & socket” joint windshield or their very fashionable and extremely<br />
popular low-profile dark-Plex ® and dark-glass windscreens.<br />
<strong>Water</strong> <strong>Bonnet</strong> maintains their low price structure by setting reasonable<br />
release minimums on most orders. But it is exactly this that makes them<br />
such an integral part of the <strong>Taylor</strong> <strong>Made</strong> Marine group. While <strong>Taylor</strong> and<br />
Trend provide highly-customizable options with minimal volume requirements,<br />
<strong>Water</strong> <strong>Bonnet</strong>’s price structure is undeniably<br />
worth exploring for the medium-to-high<br />
volume builder of small-to-medium sized boats<br />
who is confident in a certain level of sales —<br />
especially if they want top-of-the-line quality<br />
but need to maintain a firm bottom line.<br />
• Geared towards medium-to-high volume builders of small-to-medium<br />
sized boats, <strong>Water</strong> <strong>Bonnet</strong>’s price structure is hard to beat<br />
• <strong>Water</strong> <strong>Bonnet</strong> is second only to <strong>Taylor</strong> <strong>Made</strong> in number of years<br />
experience producing windshields for the Marine Industry<br />
• <strong>Water</strong> <strong>Bonnet</strong> continues to develop a unique line of products<br />
specially fit for boats in their target market<br />
• As the newest member of <strong>Taylor</strong> <strong>Made</strong> Marine, <strong>Water</strong> <strong>Bonnet</strong>’s<br />
customer support network, engineering capabilities, and product<br />
offerings are now more significant than ever before<br />

Advanced Metal Forming<br />
Capabilities…<br />
Complementing our ability to shape and<br />
strengthen glass is our skill at bending the<br />
metal framework to produce beautifully engineered,<br />
complete glazing systems. <strong>Taylor</strong><br />
pioneered the welding of stainless steel in<br />
the marine glazing industry, including corrosion resistant 316L, and our<br />
welding shops are equipped with state-of-the-art TIG welders capable of<br />
welding aluminum extrusions of any size.<br />
And Design Engineering<br />
Skills…<br />
<strong>Taylor</strong> has set the highest standards<br />
for glazing system design and engineering<br />
in the boating business. Our engineering<br />
experts work closely with OEM<br />
product designers and engineers, providing<br />
highly accurate engineering output that reduces prototype development<br />
cycle time and costs. We utilize Pro-E CAD modeling plus other<br />
computer engineering systems, including Finite Element Analysis to optimize<br />
the part design for best<br />
performance in its intended<br />
environment.<br />
<strong>Taylor</strong>’s technical assistance<br />
and support helps accelerate<br />
the process of<br />
going from initial design<br />
concepts to full-scale production.<br />
Being able to participate<br />
in the design<br />
development stages as well as control every step of the glazing and metal<br />
forming processes minimizes lead times and maximizes product quality.<br />
