Seawork Review

Mantsbrite named Koden's exclusive UK distributor

01 Aug 2006

Changes are afoot in the way that the range of Koden marine products will be distributed in the UK and Ireland. From the first of this month, Seawork exhibitor Mantsbrite, which has been jointly distributing Koden's marine products, will become Koden's exclusive distributor.

Koden chairman Yoshimasa Ito (3rd from left) with Deputy Harbour Master, Captain Ian Mace and Tom Waklin of Harwich Haven Authority and David Ash, managing director of Mantsbrite.

Koden manufacture a wide range of electronic navigation equipment and claim the honour of being the first manufacturer to produce a colour echosounder, a marine colour radar, and a fully functioning radar chartplotter that operates on a PC.

David Ash, managing director of Mantsbrite said, 'We are delighted that Koden have chosen Mantsbrite to be their exclusive distributor for the UK and Ireland. We have been selling Koden products for over 20 years now and to be granted exclusive distribution rights demonstrates Koden's faith in a family company that was started by my father in 1964.'
