In 1948, FURUNO introduced the world’s first Fish Finder

FURUNO has been at the leading edge of the best fish finding technology ever since. The company also develops and manufactures radar systems and navigational instruments.

Award-Winning Technology

In 1971, FURUNO won ‘Best Fish Finder Award’ from the NMEA. Since then, FURUNO has won annual awards in various categories every year. In fact, FURUNO has had the privilege of winning over 235 NMEA awards – more than any two other manufacturers combined.

Each year, the National Marine Electronics Association (NMEA), a US-based marine electronics trade organisation, recognises new products that feature the best in design, performance and reliability. The NMEA's mission is to contribute to development and popularization of the marine electronics industry.

The association also sets standards for electronic interfaces for navigation equipment, communication protocols and other aspects of marine electronics. NMEA members are comprised of NMEA-approved technicians, industry experts, dealers and distributors. Each votes for whom they believe should win the awards.

Manufacturer of the Year

In 2006, a new category for ‘Manufacturer of the Year – Support’ was added. FURUNO scooped up this prestigious title, an honour that FURUNO has been awarded nine times. Without doubt, these awards are testament to FURUNO’s reputation for innovation, excellence and reliability.
