Our History
G & C Marine Inc. (formerly Arduous Inc.) founded by David L. Berry, has been
an innovative leader in the marine interior industry for
25 years. In the late 1970's, Dave began to channel his
expertise as a cabinetmaker into producing marine interior
products. Working initially as an independent contractor,
Dave developed a line of cost effective, low fire load,
aesthetically pleasing interior products for marine vessels.
He established his own company in 1982 where he continued
to personally design the aluminum marine products it manufactured
and installed. His innovative lightweight marine furniture
set the standards for high-speed marine commuter transit
seating for the "passenger only" ferry system in the United
States. In 1992, Dave sold the designs and prototypes
of his products to Turnbull of Washington, Inc.and served
as Director of Product Development and Plant Manager,
helping the company to become an established marine seating
manufacturer. Dave started Arduous in 1997 to produce
an expanded range of high quality products featuring his
innovative designs. He has assembled a top-notch team
of professionals to assure high quality and outstanding
service.
