The Fusion Story
Fusion International is one of the very few companies in the Marine Industry that
actually started with a business plan. Even before the Fusion 40 was designed,
the company had a step by step plan in which to enter this very competitive area
of Multihull manufacture.
After producing the first revolutionary Kits in Australia, it was time to take the next
step in the development of itʼs International Foundations and that was to source
the Company and Country in which to manufacture the components. Fusion was
in a position where it could choose any country, but a visit to beautiful Thailand
and an inspection of the Cobra/CMI facility, it set in place a wonderful partnership,
that has seen in excess of 60 Fusions produced to date.
I hope the following images and text allows you to understand further the manufacturing company of the Fusion.
What makes the Fusion International/CMI/Cobra relationship so successful
is the common goals of producing the best possible products to the highest
standards using the latest technology.
The following images give an insight into the facility, its capabilities, diversity,staff and committment to the Composites Industry
Enthusiastic, dedicated team members are a crucial part of the high quality Fusion components
produced within CMI.

Fusion 40 moulds are being re-assembled following their sea voyage from Australia.
Fusion Team members train the laminators in the various aspects of Fusion's dry
layup prior to Resin Infusion.
The end result is a product that truly leads the world, not only in concept and technology
but also in Design, as the Fusion 40 was voted the best looking Catamaran under
42 feet.
Other Facilities and Infrastructure offered at Cobra/CMI,
include the following:
AUTOCLAVE
7 bar high tech autoclave used by Cobra in order to produce composite parts for well known high quality European and Japanese automobile and motorcycle companies
CNC Routers for metal and composies
Laser Cutters are available for accurately cutting any substrate, and are especially
good with panels such as Fusion Pre Cut Furniture.
Another aspect of the quality processes are the clean rooms.
The ability to carry large stocks of woven Fibreglass, Foam, Resins etc, ensures
purchasing at very good prices, therefore having a product that is competitive.
Facilities also include the Meeting Rooms
and the import and export offices.
We hope these photos and words help you to understand the enormous resources
and investment that has been made in the company that produces your Fusion 40
components, and you will agree with us when we say, “itʼs the best of the best”.
