McMurdo adds Kannad

Following Orolia’s acquisition of Kannad in September 2009 and of McMurdo in November (forming Orolia’s new Positioning Division), a new strategy has been implemented for both companies.

From 1 January McMurdo Ltd’s core focus will be on producing emergency location beacons for marine and outdoor markets, while Kannad’s original operation will focus separately on the aviation and tracking sectors. McMurdo Ltd will offer two different ranges of branded products, namely the existing McMurdo range plus the products of its newly branded division Kannad Marine.
