Ronstan manufactures sailboat fittings and deck hardware for the global sailing market. Product lines cover blocks, travelers, furling systems, cleats, and rigging components fitted on racing sailboats, luxury sailing yachts. Beyond hardware for boats, the company supplies high-capacity structural hardware for tensile architecture installations around the world.

Manufacturing takes place across specialized production plants in Australia, Denmark, and Indonesia, with each site dedicated to specific component lines. International offices in Denmark and the United States coordinate regional logistics, supporting a distribution network that delivers millions of hardware units across more than 40 countries annually.

As an official partner of the Australian Sailing Team, Ronstan supplies hardware proven in Olympic competition and high-performance racing series. Engineering teams focus on reducing weight and minimizing friction under severe mechanical loads, giving sailors dependable control whether on short-course regattas or long-distance offshore voyages.

In late 2023, Ronstan became part of Groupe Wichard. Joining this group of sailing and safety brands expands global distribution, providing yacht builders, riggers, and sailboat owners with integrated deck equipment solutions.
