Unique Group Selected as Teledyne CARIS Distributor for Nigeria and Kenya
Teledyne CARIS has selected Unique Group as a distributor for its hydrographic charting software solutions in Nigeria and Kenya. As part of the distributor agreement, Unique Group’s Sharjah office will offer CARIS’ full range of Ping-to-Chart hydrographic software solutions to customers within the region.
The CARIS Ping-to-Chart software solutions include HIPS and SIPS, Bathy DataBASE (BDB), Hydrographic Production Database (HPD), CARIS Onboard, S-57 Composer and Paper Chart Composer among others.
Niels Nijhuis, account manager at Teledyne CARIS commented, Nigeria and Kenya are both coastal countries and significant to the hydrographic charting industry. This is a strategic move for Teledyne CARIS to establish market presence there. The association with Unique Group for the Middle East region made it logical to partner for newer territories in Africa.
Sharad Kumar, director of business development at Unique Group further added that the Survey Equipment division is continually widening its product portfolio with world class hydrographic software solutions and associated equipment. Nigeria is a strategic market for hydrographic surveying operations within the African sub-continent and our partnership with Teledyne CARIS in this region will help bolster our global reach and expand our innovative portfolio of hydrographic software solutions in the region.
