ABOUT US

Since 1992, we’ve been dedicated to high-quality steel constructions, with a strong focus on maritime propulsion and heavy-duty industrial applications.

We produce key components like nozzles, thruster tunnels, and rudders for maritime use, and deliver robust parts for demanding sectors such as mining and demolition. Our craftsmanship ensures every product meets the highest standards of performance and reliability.

Our work is guided by three core principles: product quality, reliability and competitive pricing. We also take responsibility for our environmental impact by preventing pollution, reducing waste and using resources efficiently. This commitment is something our entire team puts into practice every day.

Engineering & Quality You Can Trust

With in-house Engineering and Quality Assurance, Stentor is well equipped to work on a wide range of steel constructions. Stentor has gained experience in catering to customer’s specific needs, through years of supplying certified components made from carbon, stainless, high-strength or wear resistant steels. High-tech equipment, comprehensive stock levels as well as an experienced and certified workforce, guarantee quality results, on time, at a competitive price.

A JOURNEY THROUGH THE YEARS

Founded in the early 1990s, Stentor has grown into a trusted name in high-quality steel constructions, particularly within maritime propulsion and heavy-duty industries. With roots going back to 1992, when we began as "Stentor Naval" in the maritime industrial hub of Navol in Oltenița, Romania, we initially focused on building small luxury yachts. Many of these found their way to delighted owners across Europe.

By 1996, responding to demand from the Navol shipyard, we produced our first propulsion nozzles. Their success quickly broadened our focus, and nozzles became part our core business. In 2004, we fully transitioned from yacht building to specializing in propulsion components. Since then, Stentor has grown into a multi-sector manufacturing partner, delivering complex welded and machined steel structures for maritime propulsion systems, heavy industrial equipment, and other demanding applications.

Our values and daily focus

Delivering the right product, in the right location, at exactly the right moment. We understand how critical timing is in your operations, and we make it our responsibility to meet every delivery promise.

Our three key pillars

Stentor’s operational strategy is built around three key pillars: Quality³, On-Time Performance, and Cost Reduction.These values are the foundation of how we work and what we strive to deliver every day.

Every day focus

Our daily work is driven by three core values:

Reliability – We stand by our word.
Team – We grow and succeed together.
100% – We commit fully, always.

In addition, we embrace values that reflect how we work as individuals:

First Time Right – We aim to get it right from the start.
Pride – We take pride in our work, our company, and our products.
Ask – We encourage everyone to ask questions and speak up.

These principles guide our mindset—every project, every day.

Quality³

Quality starts with people and grows through consistent performance and strong processes. At Stentor, we combine skilled craftsmanship with structured improvement to deliver the results our customers rely on.

  • We set clear quality goals, track our performance, and continuously improve.
  • We take ownership of our actions and strive for operational excellence.
  • We invest in guidance, training, and development so our people can do their best work, every time.This is what Quality³ means to us: people, process, product working together.

On Time Performance

We know how important timing is in your operations. That’s why we’re committed to delivering the right product, at the right location, at exactly the right moment.

Reduce Cost

Doing things right the first time isn’t just efficient, it’s essential. Through continuous improvement and a sharp focus on eliminating waste, we ensure that quality never comes at the cost of efficiency.

ENVIRONMENT

We’re committed to minimising our environmental footprint by preventing pollution, reducing resource consumption and promoting recycling wherever possible. These efforts support and go beyond compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.

Our environmental policy is not only clearly communicated and visible throughout the organisation, but is also actively embraced and put into practice by our entire team.

Our team, our strength

We’re proud of our multicultural team, combining Romanian engineering, Dutch commercial insight and international expertise. From engineers to certified welders, our people work together to deliver quality on time and cost-efficient.

A safe, supportive workplace is essential. We prioritise health and safety, provide professional equipment and engage our team in open dialogue to keep standards high.

Skilled, committed and safe that’s how we move forward.
