What Sets Us Apart?
TDS pre-manufactures every deck panel using CNC machining and 3D laser scanning, formulates its own marine adhesives and SIS 440 caulking in-house, and serves clients from offices in Sarasota, Fort Lauderdale, Barcelona, and Valencia.
Decking All Over The World
Our customers operate all over the world, and so do we. Whether advising, maintaining, refurbishing or installing, our teams in Sarasota & Fort Lauderdale (USA) and Barcelona & Valencia (Spain) are on hand to offer exceptional service wherever in the world it is needed.
For total peace of mind our decks are covered by warranty regardless of your location.
"We are a truly global operation — we might go to the Maldives to digitize a deck, engineer it in the US, build in Valencia, and install it in Malta."
Alan Brosilow, Consultant TDS
Leading the Industry
Our reputation is built on four decades of precision manufacturing. TDS designs, engineers, manufactures, and installs every deck in-house — including the adhesives, caulking, and maintenance products used in every installation.
Precision Templating
Utilizing advanced 3D laser scanning technology alongside traditional expertise to ensure absolute perfection in fit and finish.
Pre-Assembled Panels
Our proprietary modular manufacturing process significantly reduces installation time on the vessel, minimizing shipyard delays.
Proprietary Products
We formulate and manufacture our own marine-grade epoxies and caulking, ensuring the chemical integrity of the entire deck system.
Always Evolving
Continuous Improvement
Four decades in the marine decking industry have not made us complacent — they have sharpened our drive to improve. TDS invests continuously in technology, process, and people to stay at the frontier of marine deck engineering.
From the introduction of 3D laser scanning and CNC-machined panels to the development of next-generation composite and cork deck systems, every advancement is driven by the same goal: a better outcome for the vessel owner.
Our employee-ownership model reinforces this ethos. When every team member has a stake in the company, continuous improvement isn't a management directive — it's personal.
