ABOUT US
Joint Managing Directors, Clive and Mark Johnson formed Tacktick in 1996 when they designed and launched the world's first solar powered electronic compass for dinghies and sports boats representing a breakthrough in electronics for small boats.
Since then the team at Tacktick have been developing innovative wireless, solar powered instruments specifically for the marine market. Tacktick has made an important impact on marine electronics; for the first time introducing the market to the idea that electronics can be self-powered obviating the need for wires and cables.
Tacktick are world leaders in wireless marine electronics delivering an extensive range of wireless instruments that utilise an innovative Micronet technology, allowing the units to function entirely using solar power.
In April 2009 Suunto, the leading manufacturer of sports precision instruments announced its acquisition of Tacktick. The purchase was carried out by a sister company Amer Sports UK Ltd a subsidiary of the Amer Sports Group.
The combined strength of Suunto and Tacktick’s technologies will accelerate the development of new innovative marine products while also offering possibilities to expand the wireless Micronet, solar-power technologies into other areas of sports precision instruments.
