First Indian distributor for Shakespeare Marine

Marine antenna design specialist Shakespeare Marine has appointed a new Indian distributor, Benson Marine.

Founded in 1979, Benson Marine is a distributor for the supply, installation, maintenance and repair of marine navigation equipment, with over 200 customers across the country.

Benson Marine is the first Indian distributor for Shakespeare Marine, initially taking stock of a range of light commercial VHF antennas and mounts. Both brands say they have plans to develop the offering over the coming months.

“Shakespeare has an enviable reputation in the marine market in India, and we are proud to be representing the brand – ensuring we can offer the most innovative and technically advanced solutions for a wide range of requirements,” says Ricardo Alvares, director for Benson Marine. “We look forward to receiving our first order and getting the antennas into the hands of our customers. We have big plans for this relationship to grow in the future as we take stock of more of Shakespeare’s world-class range.”

Dave Manasseh, European sales manager for Shakespeare Marine, adds: “This new partnership marks a very exciting time for Shakespeare Marine. We look forward to entering a new market in collaboration with such a well-established brand, and are keen to continue this expansion and growth for both of our brands.”
