Keeping production in Italy, our countercurrent choice

The history of SEIWA represents an exception in the Italian context: in the last 10 years we have witnessed a massive production relocation to the Far East, as well as increasing Chinese investments in the country (over 15 billion euros invested since 2000, which have made Italy the third country to receive Chinese capital after Great Britain and Germany).

That's why SEIWA's story is really original: a brand born in Hong Kong, which became the standard for the Taiwanese fishing fleet, then acquired by an Italian group. The know-how of the Italian group thus merged with the understanding of the Asian market, keeping the production and software development in Italy.

Since then, the SEIWA brand has been strengthened in Europe and Asia, while the SI-TEX brand (owned by our sister company) has been consolidated in the United States. The two brands together cover the world market and offer a wide range of marine electronics products. SEIWA's research and development focuses on GPS chartplotters and multifunctional devices, while SI-TEX has expanded its activities in radar antennas and monitors and AIS instruments.
