History
Drass was founded in 1927 and set the world record for deep diving immersion with an atmospheric diving suit in 1937.[4] Drass has built vessels for both the Italian military and the export market.[5]
After the collapse of Cos.Mo.S in the early 2000s Drass took over many of its product lines.[2]
