looking for IMO approved wall panels - in China

    We'd like to use prefab wall panels and fire-rated doors in our trawler to yacht conversion. All these panels (and most doors) seem to be made/designed by Scandinavian companies (and maybe one Polish one).

    Yet, they have all factories in China.

    So, they have it made in China and charge Euro prices and we all know where the Euro is heading...

    By now there must be some manufacturers in China or Korea that make these panels and sell directly to shipyards and quote in USD.

    I've searched the Internet but can't find any.

    Suggestions anybody?

    Even if I'd find a US manufacturer, it would propably be a 30% saving due to the exchange rate.
