Bas Eerden - Alphatron Marine
I have been active in the field of technological solutions and high-quality navigation and communication electronics for shipping trade for more than 20 years now. I worked for Japan Radio Company (JRC) but ended up in Rotterdam when this company entered into a partnership with Alphatron Marine in 2014. Currently I am manager of the Product & Marketing department. In this department product ideas are turned into products which are marketed worldwide. We are an international company; our customers consist amongst others of large shipping companies and shipyards, especially in professional shipping trade.
A couple of our sister companies already cooperated with Cimar Electronics and about 2 years ago we entered into an intensive partnership as well. Cimar Electronics takes care of the entire process with regard to MF-instruments, from PCB production to packing. These MF-instruments are available in three different screen sizes, all based on the same platform. By adapting the software this platform can be applied to more than 30 different products, such as ship speed, wind- and depth information etc. In praxis, these instruments are used on ship’s bridges. A wonderful product, highly appreciated by our customers.
Our own R&D department developed the MF-instruments line. The added value of Cimar Electronics? Professionalism and flexibility. An example is their constructive attitude when our parent company in Japan had rather deviating wishes when it came to specifications and packing. Cimar Electronics considered it as a challenge rather than a problem. By thinking along, with open calculation, we found a suitable solution in less than no time. That’s how a partner should act, according to us!
