West System was founded in 1969 by the Gougeon Brothers in the United States. As pioneers in modern wooden boatbuilding and composite construction, they developed the 105 System: a single base resin that can be combined with a hardener of choice. This modular system quickly became the global standard in the marine industry and professional composites manufacturing.
The success of West System is built on three pillars: mechanical strength, excellent moisture resistance, and an unmatched reputation among professionals. The epoxy resin bonds to virtually all materials commonly used in boatbuilding, including wood, fiberglass, polyester, steel, and aluminum. The system is suitable for bonding, laminating, osmosis repair, and structural repairs.
West System is a premium imported brand. This means excellent quality, but also a higher price. If you are looking for similar performance at a more competitive price, consider our Dutch brand RESION, developed and tested by the specialists at Polyestershoppen.
