Strand Marine and Auto Systems Limited started operating in 1990 as a company importing boats under the US brand name Larson.

Following the initial success, the company also branched out into the automotive market, focusing mainly on batteries and lubricants. Since then it has become the local distributor for Varta, which is the largest car battery manufacturer globally, as well as Mannol lubricants.

To offer its customers a better aftersales service, Strand Marine also imports a wide range of marine and automotive spare parts and ancillary boat equipment. The company also offers the services of fully qualified engineers to service its customers with electrical and mechanical services, repairs and installations.

In 2005 Strand Marine opened a new 600 square metre state-of-the-art complex in Triq is-Sebħ, Qormi, leading to the Mrieħel Bypass. The complex includes a showroom, repair centre, workshop, and sales and administration offices.

This enables the company to offer a complete boat and outboard package

In 2012 Strand Marine further expanded its marine division with the acquisition of the Suzuki Marine dealership from the historic agent Zarb Stores. The Suzuki range also includes Suzumar, which is a Suzuki brand that produces tenders and ribs ranging from 2.2 to 3.5 metres and which are available with both rigid fibreglass, aluminium and rubber hull. Along with Suzuki Marine, Strand Marine also acquired the dealerships for Ocean Master boats, a Norwegian designed range of centre console boats and Nuova Jolly, an Italian manufacturer of high quality ribs. This enables the company to offer a complete boat and outboard package to address a growing demand in this segment.

Strand Marine also represents Larson and Glastron boats. Larson has been building boats for over 100 years, making it one of the oldest boat builders in the world. American boat building Glastron produces a wide range of sports boats and cruisers, offering a variety of styles of bow riders and closed sports boats.

Strand Marine is the sister company of Esprit Yachting, which is the exclusive dealer in Malta for Azimut Yachts, incorporating five collections: Atlantis, Magellano, Flybridge, S and Grande to-gether with Williams Performance Jet Tenders.

Strand Marine offers a wide range of services, including electrical, maintenance, mechanical, outboard, refrigeration and winter service.

This year, Strand Marine is celebrating 25 years of excellent service in the marine and automotive markets.
