Marine lighting pioneers Carmanah Technologies Corporation and Sabik Oy announced today that the two organizations have joined forces to deliver a complete range of marine lighting solutions under the Carmanah/Sabik brand.

Under the terms of the agreement, both Carmanah and Sabik will expand their marine product families to include the other company’s marine lighting solutions and will leverage each others’ sales and distribution channels to deliver a complete range of marine lights to their respective global customer bases.

“Sabik is a leader in optical technology and communications systems, and we are delighted to partner with them to deliver total marine lighting solutions to our customers,” said Ted Lattimore, Carmanah CEO. “Whether a customer is looking for a one nautical mile self-contained solar LED lantern or an 18 nautical mile range light, they will only need to reach out to a single point of contact. Anything that makes the process easier for the customer just makes good business sense,” said Lattimore.

Kalevi Sarvikivi, Managing Director for Sabik said, “Carmanah’s understanding of energy management is evident in the performance of their short-range solar LED marine lights, and we believe the Carmanah lights will be an excellent complement to Sabik’s marine product family.” Sarvikivi added that he expects future joint product development that will combine the best of Carmanah and Sabik’s technology to bring new products to the marine lighting market.

Carmanah and Sabik will be exhibiting March 22-27 at IALA 2010 in Capetown, South Africa.
