Actisense enjoyed the most successful year of our 22 year history in 2019. We have grown from a small one-man operation to an internationally recognised market-leading marine electronics brand, now working with 80+ distributors in 45 countries around the globe.
The company is proud to represent Great Britain on the world marine stage. In our niche field of marine electronics, Actisense has positioned ourselves with key working partnerships alongside some of the world’s leading manufacturers to be a core component enabler of some of their solutions, including Raymarine, Siren Marine, and Airmar to name a few, on top of having some of the industry’s best respected NMEA solutions in our stable of products.
In the last year, Actisense has sold over 50,000 units globally, as well as having brought 2 new products to market: the W2K-1 NMEA 2000 to WiFi gateway and data logger, and the SBN-2 8-way Self-contained Boat Network – both commercial hits as soon as they came to market. Our upcoming TER-U Smart Universal Terminator is poised to make a significant impact on the global installer market by solving a fundamental challenge for them.
As a business, Actisense has grown to 28 members of staff and has increased turnover and profitability year on year. We were proud to have been awarded the British Chamber award for the UK’s Small Business of the Year, as well as having won the inaugural Maritime UK Award for International Trade.
Research has also helped Actisense identify an opportunity to diversify into the agricultural vehicle market, among other potential vertical markets. Actisense supplied 2500 units to this market in 2018/19 and started working with major US agricultural company with other large potential projects nearing fruition.
Reinvestment continues into 2020, with further product R&D and increased investment into marketing initiatives including a refreshed website and the incorporation of AI.
Everything that we do, and all of our success, is thanks to the dedication of our talented team and the wonderful support from you, our customers, commercial partners, distributors, dealers and installers. We will continue to work hard to be your brand of choice for marine electronics solutions and wish you a productive and prosperous year ahead!
