Shakespeare® Marine, the world leader in marine antenna design, announces a record-breaking year for Asia, ahead of relocating its Chinese distribution centre, from Shanghai to Weihai, China.
Shakespeare® Marine’s continued success within Asia has enabled the brand to grow by 20% this year, making it the most successful year in the region to date – now making it the brand’s biggest growth region globally.
As a result of the record-breaking year, Shakespeare® Marine announces a new Chinese distribution centre. Previously located in Shanghai, the distribution hub for the region has relocated to Weihai. The new facility allows Shakespeare® to further support sales in its Asia and Australasia markets due to its larger square footage, enabling better access to more variety and quantities, as well as improved delivery and logistics.
Stock will include the best-selling product lines, from industry-leading VHF, AIS, HDTV marine antennas and the brand’s QuickConnect™ range, to heavy-duty stainless-steel mounts. Shakespeare® Marine’s renowned 5912-DORSAL VHF antenna, V-Tronix Fibreglass VHF antenna and the Classic AIS antenna.
Dave Manasseh, International Sales Manager for Shakespeare® Marine, comments, “This year has been incredible for Asia and is an area we’ve focused on growing via onboarding new distributors. Following a year of significant company growth and an ever-increasing global presence, the new warehouse will enable us to meet the demands of our customers at a much greater rate and widen our offering.”
The new distribution warehouse is already proving to be successful with a recent record order for HF and VHF antennas being sold directly into Asia, including new territories for Shakespeare®.
Dave adds, “The latest order in Asia is a testament to the quality and reliability of our products and further highlights our brand as a prestigious player in the Asian market.”
Shakespeare® Marine is the leading, global antenna brand with a reputation for superior quality, performance and durability. Its award-winning products are stocked in 56 countries worldwide.
