Maretron’s co-founder, Frank Emnett, will continue to lead new product engineering and development of Maretron products as Vice President, Engineering, Control & Monitoring Systems.

This transaction builds on a relationship originated in January 2007 under a multiphased strategic and equity investment agreement between Carling and Maretron.

“Together with Carling, our ability to deliver world-class products to OEMs, dealers, and end users is enhanced,” said Kip Wasilewski, Director of Sales, Maretron. “Carling adds valuable engineering resources and expands our product portfolio to include digital switching and enhanced vessel control functions. In addition, Carling’s vast experience in the transportation industry will positively impact our strategy to bring core technology to the marine market,” added Wasilewski. The base of operations for the Maretron brand is currently in the process of being moved from Phoenix, Arizona to a Carling facility in Jupiter, Florida.
