ACR Electronics expands Dutch distribution

Leading developer of emergency beacons, safety and survival technology, ACR Electronics, has entered into a new distribution agreement with Holland Nautic, a marine electronics provider in the Netherlands.

The partnership will expand the availability of ACR Electronics’ safety and survival products in the Dutch market.

Under the agreement, Holland Nautic will offer ACR Electronics’ full product range, including Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacons (EPIRBs), Personal Locator Beacons (PLBs), and LED searchlights. The partnership will also provide enhanced access to local service and technical support for Dutch customers.

The news comes a month after ACR Electronics signed a new distribution deal with Elna for expansion in the German market.

The Netherlands, which is home to more than 500,000 registered recreational boats and Europe’s largest commercial port in Rotterdam, plays a significant role in European maritime activities. The sector supports over 300,000 jobs and contributes more than €95bn to the economy annually.

“We are excited to partner with Holland Nautic, a well-respected distributor with deep roots in the Netherlands’ marine industry,” says Bob Pro, vice president of sales at ACR Electronics. “Their reputation, technical expertise and commitment to quality align perfectly with our mission and make them the ideal partner to help deliver our trusted safety technologies to new customers in the region.”

Holland Nautic will also support ACR’s products with local training, technical support and user education across a variety of sectors, including recreational boating, competitive sailing, commercial fleets and inland operations.

“We are thrilled to partner with ACR Electronics to bring their trusted safety products to our customers,” says Rob Jansen, director at Holland Nautic. “Safety is at the core of what we do, and this collaboration will support mariners in staying safe and connected when it matters most. Providing these reliable and innovative distress signaling solutions will have a significant and meaningful impact on water safety across the Netherlands.”

ACR Electronics designs and manufactures a broad range of safety and survival equipment. Its technology has been credited with saving lives and is used by coast guards, professional mariners and military forces globally.
