Navico Timeline



OWNERSHIP
Navico was purchased by Brunswick Corporation in 2021 with the acquisition announced on June 24, 2021 and closing in October 2021. The announcement highlighted that Navico would continue to be led by Navico President & CEO Knut Frostad and would be positioned as an independent business unit within Brunswick’s Advanced Systems Group (ASG).
Navico was created in 2006 from the acquisitions of Simrad Yachting (owner of B&G), Lowrance Electronics and Brunswick New Technologies. The company has worked systematically to integrate the three companies, consolidating seven brands into three (Simrad Yachting, B&G and Lowrance), six factories into one and building one common technology platform. As a result, Navico has been driving innovation in its industry and has steadily grown its market share since 2009. Navico acquired C-MAP, a leader in digital marine cartography solutions, as its fourth brand in 2017.
