Ocean Signal, the UK manufacturer of marine communication and safety products, which include EPIRBs, SARTs and VHF radios, will open its own US sales operation this month as Ocean Signal America. The new company, headed up by CEO Talbot Pratt, will be based in Newburyport, MA and will share facilities with Digital Yacht and Digital Deep Sea which manufacture a complementary range of marine electronic products including AIS, chart plotters and marine PCs, for both commercial and leisure markets.
“The US office will be an extension of Ocean Signal’s European operation and will allow us to offer a complete service from sales and marketing right through to service and support for our US dealer and distributor network. Ocean Signal’s innovative product line which includes EPIRBs (emergency beacons) and SARTs (search and rescue transponders) will sit perfectly with our existing products,” commented Talbot Pratt.
Ocean Signal and Digital Yacht will show their innovative range of safety electronics at this year’s Miami International Boat Show on booth C95 in the Convention Center, 17th – 21st February 2011.
