Raytheon Marine becomes Raymarine
Raymarine acquired Raytheon’s Recreational Marine Division in a management buy-out backed by HgCapital in January 2001. At the time of the buy-out the Group rebranded its products under the name 'Raymarine.’
Since the management buy-out, the Group has invested significantly in Raymarine’s growth and profitability, and in 2004 Raymarine plc became a publicly traded company and was floated on the London Stock Exchange.
