ABOUT SABIK

Sabik was founded in Finland in the end of 1970s first as a subcontractor for electronic industry. In the 1980s the design and manufacturing of navigation lanterns for ice conditions began, and during the decades the company expanded to leadership in the marine aids-to-navigation industry.

Cooperation with Carmanah Technologies advanced to the company’s growth. It started in the year 2010 in a partnership covering marine product development and distribution. Year 2015 Carmanah acquired the Sabik Group of Companies and Sabik Oy entity located in Porvoo, Finland became the headquarter of the marine division. The expansion continued in 2016 with acquisition of EKTA branded products in Estonia. The next milestone was in 2017, the acquisition of New Zealander Vega Industries, one of the long-term suppliers in the industry especially known for their PEL-lights. The operation of Vega Industries was integrated into Sabik in Finland during autumn of 2018.
