PROTEUM
Proteum is a UK based marine engineering and distribution business specialising in diesel propulsion systems and associated marine equipment. Operating from offices in Southampton and the South of England, the company supplies products across the UK and Ireland, positioning itself as a leading distributor in the marine diesel sector. It forms part of the wider SC Group, a British engineering organisation with capabilities spanning defence, marine, and industrial sectors.
At its core, Proteum focuses on supplying a broad portfolio of marine propulsion and control systems. This includes inboard and outboard diesel engines, waterjets, stern drives, and integrated propulsion packages from established manufacturers such as OXE Diesel, Bukh, and Konrad Marine. The company acts as both a distributor and technical partner, ensuring that vessel operators, builders, and commercial marine clients can access reliable, high performance systems suited to demanding environments.
Beyond product supply, Proteum delivers a full lifecycle support offering. This includes installation, maintenance, engine refits, spare parts supply, and global service solutions. Through a network of dealers and engineers, they provide on the ground support and emergency call out services, enabling rapid response wherever vessels are operating. Their technical services also extend to diagnostics, overhaul programmes, and repowering projects, helping customers improve efficiency, reliability, and operational uptime.
Strategically, Proteum plays a key role within SC Group’s marine division, supporting sectors such as commercial workboats, defence, ports, and offshore industries. The company emphasises innovation and sustainability, particularly in areas like fuel efficiency, hybrid propulsion, and lower emission technologies. By combining product distribution with engineering expertise and support services, Proteum positions itself as a comprehensive solutions provider to the marine industry rather than simply an equipment supplier.
