Service. Speed. Smiles.

3S Co., Ltd. — a South Korean manufacturer of cable trays and pipe supports for ships and offshore plants. Delivering quality, reliability, and innovation to shipyards and offshore projects worldwide.

SEC.01 // What 3S Stands For

Three Words. One Promise.

The name is the commitment: Service, Speed, Smile. Here is what each one costs us — and what it earns you.

  • Service

    that excels

    Our engineers read your drawings before they quote. Product type, load requirement, surface finish, class rules — every specification is checked against the vessel it is going on, so what arrives is what the yard actually needed.

  • Speed

    that impresses

    Diet trays can respond quickly to the customer’s order date, as productivity increases through the automation process.

  • Smiles

    that last

    A tray that is 20% lighter is easier to carry up a gangway, cheaper to ship, and kinder to fuel burn for the life of the vessel. Non-welded means no welding fumes for the people building it, either.

SEC.02 // Company Overview

About 3S Co., Ltd.

3S Co., Ltd. operates three factories in South Korea’s Gyeongnam province — two in Uiryeong and one in Haman — producing cable trays and pipe supports for ships and offshore plants.

Alongside our standard cable tray lineup, 3S developed a proprietary non-welded cable tray — we call it the Diet Cable Tray. By eliminating welding through our roll-forming automation process, it achieves high production efficiency compared to conventional methods while reducing weight by up to 20%, without compromising load capacity. The result: measurable cost savings in materials, production time, and vessel fuel efficiency.

We supply Korea’s leading shipyards — including Hanwha Ocean, Samsung Heavy Industries, and HD Hyundai — as well as global owners, building an internationally trusted track record.

Sustainable by Design

Non-welded fabrication is more than an engineering innovation — it eliminates the hazardous gases produced by welding: ozone, metal fume, CO, NO₂, and argon.

  • 01Improved worker health and safety
  • 02Reduced fire risk on the production floor
  • 03Lower environmental impact from manufacturing
  • 04Contribution to carbon reduction goals

Our Facilities

Most materials are self-cut, holed, and beveled in-house. Plate, shape steel, and flat bar all pass through our own machines before they reach the line.
