Advanced manufacturing

VE Paddles are handmade in Britain from the very best materials – toughened prepreg composites – to produce stronger, more damage-tolerant blades; loved by owners the world over.

Handmade in the UK

Our manufacturing facility in Clevedon, Somerset, builds on decades of composite and engineering experience at Palm Equipment. We pride ourselves on our level of care and attention to detail.

We're here to factory repair and service your paddle, as well as make paddles to your custom length and feather. If you don't see what you want on this site, ask us!

Hot compression moulding

We make our carbon and glass blades using hot compression moulding in CNC-machined mould tools. Accuracy and control are our watchwords.

Both blades and shafts are cured under accurately controlled temperatures and pressures to guarantee quality and consistency.

Environmental impact

We’re careful about our enviromental impact. We don’t use solvents or 'volatile organic compounds' (VOCs) in any of our manufacturing processes. Also, because our blades don’t use foam cores, we don’t emit VOCs from making the cores.

We’re constantly developing and refining our manufacturing processes as new materials and technology become available.
