Navico acquires Maris

The full Maris product portfolio and the Maris brand will be integrated into the Simrad product portfolio as the Simrad Maris series. Both companies say they expect the expanded products and services offer to bring value to both Simrad and Maris customers.

“The commercial marine market is a strategic priority for our growth ambitions and we intend to continue to make a substantial impact within this sector,” said Leif Ottosson, president and CEO, Navico.

“Few marine electronics companies today are investing as much as Navico. We see tremendous opportunity for innovation and consolidation in this industry. Adding Maris to the Navico Group strengthens our strategy to achieve those ambitions,” he added.

Maris is a supplier of data solutions to the commercial maritime sector related to navigation, voyage optimisation, and voyage monitoring. Navico says this strategic acquisition is a significant milestone in its continued investment in the commercial marine sector.
