Gardner Technologies, an established Kongsberg Maritime sales partner in the USA, has expanded its sales activity for Kongsberg Mesotech underwater acoustic products into North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, and Alabama.

GTI is already responsible for sales in Delaware, Washington DC, Maryland, Virginia and eastern Pennsylvania.

An agreement between GTI and wholly owned Kongsberg Maritime subsidiary Kongsberg Mesotech signed in September 2015 will improve availability of the complete Kongsberg Mesotech product portfolio to the Search and Recovery, Marine Engineering and Underwater Vehicle markets in South Eastern states, the company said.

The agreement focuses on provision of Kongsberg Mesotech’s Singlebeam Scanning Sonar and Multibeam Sonar products, in addition to software, cabling, power supplies, modified cable reels and spare parts.

“We’re excited to expand our existing relationship with KONGSBERG,” said Nelson Gardner, President, GTI. “We feel that Kongsberg Mesotech offers the best performing Sonars in the industries that we serve. We will be leveraging our successes in both regions to continue the growth of sales of Mesotech products in the future.”

“GTI has proven its expertise in Kongsberg Mesotech sonars and we’re confident its experienced team will provide an equally strong service to our professional users in the South East,” adds Konrad Mech, Director of Sales and Marketing, Kongsberg Mesotech.
