Daniamant

In 2017, Daniamant realigned its product range under three key areas to ensure understanding of its range in the market. (Safe People - Safe Systems - Safe Sailing)

Each product now falls under a specific “Be Safe” sub category allowing for focus, performance, strategy and growth of each range.

To further streamline the business and improve efficiency the three Danish entities; Daniamant Holding A/S, Daniamant ApS and Daniamant Electronics A/S were merged under a new single organisation; Daniamant A/S. With one management team to focus on moving the company forward.

Now together, Daniamant is facing the future as daughter company within Ernströmgruppen’s (www.ernstromgruppen.com) as member of the group’s marine activities. The Company is well placed to grow further organically, by exploiting key opportunities in all sectors. Further opportunities for growth by acquisition will also be actively exploited. Daniamant is proud of it’s past, but excited about the future.

Daniamant Ltd - United Kingdom

The Survivor Location Lights business in the UK has a much longer history. The origin of the Survivor Location Lights business lies with a gentleman called McMurdo Silver who, in 1937, founded a Company to manufacture Valve Radios. The Company went through a number of developments, moving from South London to Ashstead, developing and growing all the time. During the 1950’s, the Company diversified into Marine Safety Lights and Reserve Batteries. In 1953, the Company moved to Portsmouth. Over the following years, the Company continued to expand and grew to a dominant position within the Marine Survivor Location Lights market. At this time the Company established a reputation for quality products; a reputation that continues today.

McMurdo Ltd was acquired by The Chemring Group in 1994 and further growth and expansion occurred. However, in 2005, The Chemring Group decided to refocus on its core Military and Pyrotechnic business and the decision was taken to dispose of “non-core” businesses and accordingly McMurdo Ltd was put up for sale. In June 2006, the McMurdo Survivor Location Lights business was sold to Daniamant ApS in Denmark and on the 1st July 2006, a new Company called Daniamant Ltd commenced trading for the first time.

The new Company was initially based within the existing McMurdo premises at Silver Point in Portsmouth, but on the 30th October 2006 was moved to a new location at The Admiral Park in Portsmouth, thus beginning a new chapter in the development of the Company. In October 2014, Daniamant was proud to announce the acquisition of the assets from Odeo Flare Ltd. The exciting Odeo Flare™ electronic Visual Distress Signals (eVDS) products take Daniamant more directly into the World-Wide Leisure market. More recently in January 2016 Daniamant acquired Jotron’s lifeboat and lifebuoy light business to further supplement its product range.

Daniamant Ltd proudly hold all necessary approvals for the Company and products, including ISO 9001, MED, SOLAS, ATEX, IECEx and a number of International approvals.
