Magellan agency now named as Ashtech

Unique Maritime Group FZC has taken Magellan agency. Magellan is a leader in the consumer, survey, GIS and OEM GPS navigation and positioning markets. 

 Recognized as an industry innovator, the Company is the creator of the award-winning Magellan® RoadMateTM series portable car navigation systems, the Magellan eXploristTM outdoor handheld navigation devices, the Hertz NeverLost® car navigation system and ProMarkTM, the best-selling single frequency GPS survey product line on the market. The company is recognized worldwide through its Magellan brand and has experienced dramatic revenue growth as GPS technology has proliferated across a range of consumer and commercial applications. 

 The Company is headquartered in Santa Clara, California with European headquarters in Carquefou, France.  

Magellan’s New Brand Name : Ashtech  

The reconstituted brand name benefits from the focus of previous owners. Under the Thales umbrella, the company expanded its market in Europe and gained GNSS expertise with the focus on the Galileo project. The Magellan ownership provided expertise in developing light-weight mobile handheld products. Now as Ashtech the company combines both high-precision and handheld solutions for both the GIS and survey professionals.

Unique System FZE offers sales and rental of Ashtech Land and Marine GPS solutions.
