SM GROUP (Europe) Ltd appointed as Maretron Distributor for the United Kingdom and Ireland
SM GROUP (Europe) Ltd., the United Kingdom’s specialist distributor of a comprehensive catalogue of marine electronics, are delighted to announce their appointment as the Maretron distributor for the United Kingdom and Ireland. Maretron designs, manufacturers and markets leading-edge networked electronics for the marine market. Maretron’s products are designed to the open industry NMEA 2000® standard, which allows electronic equipment from diverse manufacturers to be networked together for sharing information throughout the vessel.
Maretron’s corporate philosophy is to provide premium quality, state-of-the-art marine electronics that work together with traditional navigation techniques for the highest level of safety and performance while boating.
Alex Longworth Technical Sales Manager of SM GROUP (Europe) Ltd commented “This is terrific news, the Maretron range of NMEA 2000 products fits comfortably into our expansive portfolio of products and compliments rather than competes with other products in our range. The concept of NMEA 2000 compatibly grows each year and the Maretron range allows the networking and expansion of integrated systems from different manufacturers which the boat owner now demands”
Says Larry Anderson, Maretron’s Vice President of Sales & Marketing. “Maretron’s partnership with SM GROUP should allow us to grow our distribution network exponentially in the UK and Ireland. Not only will SMG bring a fresh focus into their geographical marine electronics marketplace, but they also enable Maretron’s new generation of affordable Vessel Monitoring Systems to be seriously introduced in the UK,”
Established in 1973, SM GROUP is a leading distributor of specialist electronic equipment for the Marine, Automotive and Outdoor Pursuit markets. SM GROUP officially launched the Maretron product line at the London International Boat Show at the Excel Centre in London, UK.
