From propeller pioneers to

Propulsion by KaMeWa

Swedish-born inventor John Ericsson pioneered the practical application of the propeller. Following in his footsteps, KaMeWa then pioneered the development of the high-tech propulsion systems of today.

Whatever your priorities - speed, good manoeuvrability, high comfort, stealth properties, fuel economy, reliability, quality or world-wide availability of service - KaMeWa propulsion systems have more to offer.

Propulsion by KaMeWa includes high-skew propellers of controllable pitch and fixed pitch designs, thrusters, water-jet units and the electronic controls that make the individual building blocks into an efficient propulsion system. So whatever your propulsion needs, KaMeWa has more to offer.
