Melors Shines at the 2026 Shanghai International Boat Show! Leading a New Era of Onboard Comfort and Safety with Innovative EVA Yacht Mats.

 March 29, 2026 — Asia’s longest-running and most influential comprehensive yachting event—the 29th China (Shanghai) International Boat Show & Shanghai International Workboat Show (CIBS 2026)—grandly opened today at the Shanghai World Expo Exhibition & Convention Center. Elites from across the global yachting industry supply chain have gathered along the banks of the Huangpu River to partake in this three-day (March 29–31) aquatic extravaganza. As a benchmark manufacturer specializing in professional EVA yacht decking and anti-slip mats, Huizhou Melors Plastic Products Co., Ltd. made a high-profile appearance at the show, led personally by General Manager Helen and her core team. Under the theme of "Tech Empowerment, Green Intelligent Manufacturing, and Comfort & Safety," the company comprehensively showcased its cutting-edge R&D achievements and its full range of high-end EVA anti-slip solutions, attracting significant attention from professional buyers, industry experts, and media representatives both at home and abroad.

Since its inception, Melors has dedicated itself to the deep cultivation of R&D and application in high-performance EVA foam materials, focusing on providing top-tier anti-slip flooring and comfort cushioning solutions for the global yachting, RV, and water sports sectors. Melors’ appearance at CIBS 2026 serves not only as a concentrated demonstration of the brand's strength but also as a pivotal step in its strategic roadmap—deepening its roots in the domestic market while expanding its global footprint. Helen, the company's Chairperson, stated: "The Shanghai International Boat Show acts as both a 'weather vane' and a 'barometer' for the Asian yachting industry, bringing together the world's leading boat brands and the highest caliber of professional buyers. As a manufacturing facility with independent R&D capabilities, Melors aims to leverage this world-class platform to demonstrate to the industry the innovation and quality inherent in 'Intelligent Manufacturing in China' within the realm of high-end yacht accessories, and to explore business opportunities and chart a course for mutual growth alongside our global partners."

With "Digital & Intelligent Empowerment, Green & Low-Carbon Development" at its core, this year's exhibition spans an area exceeding 45,000 square meters and has attracted over 600 high-quality brands from around the globe to participate. Melors’ booth design was minimalist yet grand, featuring a color palette dominated by ocean blue and eco-friendly green—a perfect reflection of the company’s philosophy of green, eco-conscious products. Through a variety of formats—including real-world simulations, product displays, and dynamic demonstrations—the booth vividly showcased the practical applications of Melors’ EVA yacht decking across diverse vessel types, such as luxury yachts, fishing boats, commercial vessels, and sailboats. Led by Helen, a team of elite sales and technical professionals was on-site to provide every visiting client with expert product explanations, customized solution consultations, and one-stop procurement services, thereby facilitating efficient global resource integration.

At the exhibition, Melors’ comprehensive product lineup—including EVA faux-teak yacht decking, anti-slip deck mats, and custom-shaped floor mats—stole the spotlight, drawing significant attention thanks to their exceptional performance and exquisite aesthetics. Compared to traditional materials such as wood, fiberglass, or rubber, Melors’ EVA yacht decking combines the dual advantages of advanced material science and aesthetic craftsmanship, possessing an irreplaceable core competitive edge:

Ultimate Anti-Slip Protection for Worry-Free Safety: Utilizing patented surface texturing techniques (featuring patterns such as coarse straight grooves, diamond treads, and saw-tooth grooves), the decking provides superior friction and traction—even in extreme conditions involving moisture or saltwater exposure. This effectively prevents slips and bumps, ensuring comprehensive walking safety for everyone on board.

Eco-Friendly, Skin-Safe, and Non-Toxic: Crafted from carefully selected, food-grade, high-quality EVA raw materials, the decking has successfully passed rigorous international safety certifications—including the EU’s EN-71 and the US’s ASTM-F963 standards. Free from harmful substances such as heavy metals and phthalates, it is odorless, hypoallergenic, and safe and comfortable for direct skin contact, meeting the world’s most stringent environmental protection standards. Wood-like Aesthetics, Light-Luxury Texture: Employing exquisite hot-pressing and precision-cutting techniques, this material faithfully replicates the natural grain and coloration of premium woods—such as teak and maple—delivering a warm, tactile feel and a luxurious appearance. It integrates seamlessly with the interior styling of high-end yachts, significantly elevating the vessel's class and market value.

Lightweight & Durable, Stable Performance: Lightweight and easy to install, the material boasts exceptional durability and stability. It features superior resistance to UV radiation, saltwater corrosion, extreme temperatures, aging, and tearing. Even under prolonged outdoor exposure and constant immersion in seawater, it remains free from cracking, warping, or fading, offering a service life that far exceeds that of traditional materials.

Thermal Insulation & Cushioning for Ultimate Comfort: The unique closed-cell foam structure endows the product with outstanding thermal insulation, heat retention, sound dampening, and shock-absorbing properties. Even under intense summer sunlight, the deck surface remains significantly cooler than fiberglass or solid wood, effectively preventing burns. Walking on the surface feels soft and resilient, notably reducing leg fatigue and ensuring an experience of supreme comfort for life at sea.

Effortless Installation, Simple Maintenance: The product comes pre-applied with high-strength 3M adhesive backing, allowing for flexible cutting—whether manually (DIY) or via precise CNC customization—so that a single person can easily complete the installation. Routine cleaning requires only a wipe-down with water or a mild detergent; no waxing or specialized maintenance is required, thereby drastically reducing the time and cost associated with boat upkeep.

Melors' core competitive advantage stems from its robust independent R&D system and its unwavering commitment to innovation. Company Chairperson Helen firmly believes that technology is the lifeblood of any enterprise; thus, from the very inception of the company, she invested heavily to assemble a professional R&D team dedicated to optimizing EVA material formulations, developing novel manufacturing processes, and designing new products. From the meticulous selection of raw materials and the precise control of foaming density to the patented design of surface textures and the application of eco-friendly adhesives, every single stage undergoes thousands of rigorous experiments and tests by the R&D team, ensuring the consistent performance and uncompromising quality of every product. "We do more than just manufacture anti-slip mats; we are dedicated to providing global clients with comprehensive solutions for aquatic spaces—solutions that are safe, comfortable, aesthetically pleasing, and durable," Helen emphasized during an interview. "Melors possesses a distinct advantage across the entire industrial chain, spanning everything from R&D, mold development, and production to sales. Leveraging our keen insight into market trends, we launch multiple new products annually that set the pace for the industry. For instance, the new-generation low-temperature-resistant series and the ultra-wear-resistant, stain-resistant series unveiled at this exhibition represent the fruits of specialized R&D tailored for cold, high-latitude waters and high-frequency usage scenarios; they have garnered unanimous acclaim from international buyers."

Thanks to its exceptional product quality and innovative capabilities, Melors has established long-term, stable strategic partnerships with renowned yacht manufacturers and distributors across dozens of countries and regions worldwide. Its products are widely utilized in luxury yachts, fishing boats, commercial vessels, RVs, surfboards, and other sectors, making it the preferred and trusted brand for EVA anti-slip mats in both domestic and international markets. Participation in this exhibition not only served to solidify existing partnerships but also led to preliminary cooperation agreements with numerous new clients from Europe, the Americas, Southeast Asia, and the domestic market, thereby laying a solid foundation for the further advancement of the brand's globalization strategy.

Amidst the global megatrends of "Dual Carbon" goals and green development, the yachting industry is rapidly accelerating its transition toward low-carbon and eco-friendly practices. Melors actively responds to this industry imperative, consistently integrating the philosophy of sustainable development throughout every stage of its R&D, production, and operational processes. The EVA materials utilized by the company are 100% recyclable, and its manufacturing processes strictly adhere to clean production standards, demonstrating a steadfast commitment to reducing its carbon footprint. Moving forward, Melors will continue to increase its R&D investment in cutting-edge fields—such as bio-based EVA materials and biodegradable formulations—to introduce an even wider range of eco-friendly products, thereby contributing to the high-quality and sustainable development of China's yachting industry.

Its standout performance at the 2026 Shanghai International Yacht Show marks yet another significant milestone in the evolution of the Melors brand. Evolving from a manufacturing facility focused solely on technical expertise into a globally renowned industry benchmark, Melors has redefined the quality standards for EVA yacht mats through its unwavering dedication to craftsmanship, innovation, and corporate responsibility. Looking ahead, Chairperson Helen stated that Melors will continue to uphold its core values—"Quality First, Customer Foremost, Innovation-Led, and Shared Success"—while deeply cultivating the field of aquatic anti-slip safety. By continuously pushing the boundaries of technology, and offering superior products and more professional services, Melors aims to join forces with global partners to jointly explore the vast "blue ocean" of the yachting industry, thereby creating a safer, more comfortable, and more elegant new lifestyle on the water for users worldwide.
