Garmin named 2022 Manufacturer of the Year by NMEA

Garmin International has been named Manufacturer of the Year in the large manufacturer category by members of the National Marine Electronics Association (NMEA).

Announced at NMEA’s annual conference and awards last week (6 October 2022) in Anaheim, California, USA, this is the eighth consecutive year that the marine electronics manufacturer has won this award.

The Manufacturer of the Year award is given to the most recognised company in the marine electronics industry for excellence in product service and support in the field.

Garmin was also awarded five Product of Excellence awards in the multi-function display (MFD), autopilot, multimedia entertainment, mobile application—utility, and automatic identification system (AIS) categories. These awards are voted on by NMEA dealers who specialise in installing marine electronics, qualified NMEA technicians and fellow marine electronics manufacturers.

“We’re proud to be a part of the NMEA and honoured to be held in such high regard by our industry peers and customers as the Manufacturer of the Year,” says Dan Bartel, Garmin vice president of global consumer sales. “These awards represent our unwavering commitment to design, manufacture, sell and support the best marine electronics in the industry, and they validate the hard work and dedication of our entire team.”
