The Raymarine brand has been on the market for over 80 years.[1][2] Within this time, their product range has included visual navigation information equipment. Their products work with performance sensors that operate along with intelligence operating systems. Raymarine has a global service network that operates in over 80 countries all over the world.
Until 2005, the company manufactured the majority of its products, but then started outsourcing the production process. A year later the company declared to have completed this reorganization. The company focuses on development, marketing, sales and service.
Raymarine has been taking charge of the distribution of its products for a number of years. This is done, among other ways, by purchasing national distributors (such as Eissing in Germany and SD Marine in France) or opening their own branches, so-called subsidiaries. On 1 July 2011, Raymarine Nederland's own branch (in Velp) was opened, after the then importer, Holland Nautic Apeldoorn, had indicated that it wanted to stop distributing the brand.
