ENGLEWOOD, COLO. | 18 Apr 2013 | By Jeppesen

Marine cartography leader Jeppesen recently honored both its 2012 Dealer of the Year and 2012 Distributor of the Year, recognizing the vital role these partners played in sales of C-MAP 4D, C-MAP NT+, C-MAP MAX, PC-Planner, and other Jeppesen electronic charting products in the North American boating market.

This marks the second year Jeppesen has honored its Dealer of the Year and the second consecutive year that Stamford, Connecticut-based Landfallhas taken the honor. Landfall, one of the largest chart dealers in North America, received the distinction because of its dedicated service to marine electronics consumers through its brick-and-mortar storefront and active online/catalog mail order business. Jeppesen Channel Manager Jim McQuade from Jeppesen presented Landfalls Sean Fleischman and Henry Marx with a unique crystal globe trophy in a special ceremony at Landfalls headquarters.

Once again, Landfall has proven that hard work and dedication yield positive results, said McQuade. Were pleased to have a strong business partner like Landfall, and are honored to recognize their excellent sales of C-MAP by Jeppesen cartography over the past year.

In a separate ceremony at this years Vancouver International Boat Show, Jeppesen also recognized its 2012 North American Distributor of the Year with a similar crystal globe trophy. For the unprecedented sixth year in a row, the honor went to Paynes Marine Group, a leading marine products distributor headquartered in Victoria, British Columbia with additional offices in Vancouver, Burnaby and Burlington, Ontario. Bob Simpson and Karen Webb from Paynes Marine Group accepted the honor.

Its no coincidence that Paynes has been our top North American distributor six years running, said Roger Brudenell, Jeppesen North American Channel Manager, Light Marine. Theyve earned the trust and respect of the marine dealers they serve with their knowledgeable sales team, and its our pleasure to recognize their success.
