Arnold invites visitors to experience a virtual yacht at METSTRADE 2025
Amsterdam, November 2025 – Arnold AG will present its latest innovations at METSTRADE 2025, taking place from 18 to 20 November in Amsterdam. The German company, renowned for its high-quality metal and surface solutions, will showcase bespoke products for the interior and exterior of luxury yachts and naval vessels.
This year, Arnold is set to unveil a special highlight: visitors are invited to step aboard the “MY Arnold”, a virtual yacht that offers an immersive tour of the company’s capabilities.
Precision craftsmanship, from concept to completion
Arnold Yacht supports clients throughout every stage of their projects – from consultation and design to production and international installation. The product range includes decorative cladding, railings, windbreak systems and other custom-made metal features tailored to individual requirements. A dedicated refit service complements the portfolio, ensuring the long-term maintenance and enhancement of existing equipment.
“Our portfolio for yacht construction is extremely diverse,” explains Christian Reitze, Head of Sales at Arnold AG. “To demonstrate the full breadth of what we offer within the limited space of a trade fair stand, we are bringing our own exhibition environment in the form of a virtual yacht.”
Exploring the “MY Arnold”
The MY Arnold mirrors the dimensions of a genuine superyacht. Using a VR headset, visitors can enter the digital Infinity Deck, where they will encounter shining rail options, refined decorative surfaces, and sophisticated windbreak and staircase systems.
“In the virtual environment, we can present components in a variety of versions – polished, painted, illuminated, or in different material combinations,” says Reitze. “What matters to us is achieving a harmonious overall appearance for the yacht.”
Where engineering meets art
In addition to its marine fittings, Arnold will also feature two sculptures and decorative wall panels from its Arnold Art division on the yacht’s main deck. “Many yacht owners choose to integrate art into their interiors. With Arnold Art, we aim to showcase how engineering and art can be seamlessly combined – a connection we want visitors to experience first-hand at METSTRADE,” Reitze adds.

District President visits Arnold AG
Friedrichsdorf, February 10, 2025 - On Monday, Prof. Dr. Jan Hilligardt, District President of the Darmstadt Regional Council, visited metalworking specialist Arnold AG together with representatives from his "Occupational Safety" department. CEO Boris Bachmeier welcomed the guests to the headquarters in Friedrichsdorf for a discussion on occupational safety and a tour of the Arnold production facility.
"The topic of occupational safety is extremely important to us. As a metalworking company, we bear a great responsibility for our employees and the environment and therefore set high standards," explains Bachmeier. Cooperation with the regional council as the supervisory authority makes a lot of sense, and not just in terms of avoiding accident and health risks in the workplace. The highest possible level of protection must also be guaranteed with regard to the environment, for example when cleaning waste water from paint shops. According to Bachmeier, compliance with technical, medical and social occupational safety is a top priority for Arnold AG as a manufacturing company.
Hilligardt was delighted with the detailed insights into occupational health and safety: "It was very informative to learn about the production processes and protective measures at Arnold and to talk about current issues." He and his occupational health and safety department are concerned with cooperating with companies, ensuring compliance with regulations and maintaining a high level of occupational health and safety in his administrative district. "The safety of employees is of central importance, and the occupational health and safety department at the Darmstadt Regional Council plays an important supervisory role in addition to its advisory role."
In future, Boris Bachmeier promised that the company would continue to work very closely with the Darmstadt Regional Council and implement the occupational health and safety measures with the utmost care.

"We are delighted to welcome Boris Bachmeier as the new CEO of Arnold AG," explains Uwe Arnold, Chairman of the Supervisory Board. Family businesses such as Arnold AG require a clear management structure. The family and the Supervisory Board have therefore decided to establish a sole CEO at the head of the company.

In his previous positions, he has impressively demonstrated that, with his structured and integrative management style, he is in a position to take the workforce along with him through change and to develop the company professionally.
