 PROFILE
Lowrance Electronics' equipment eliminates conversations about "the one that got away." The company is a leading maker of sonar products for sport fishing (also known as depth sounders or depth finders). Lowrance also makes global positioning system (GPS) products used by boaters, hunters, hikers, and others for terrain mapping and marking. The products, sold under its Eagle, Lowrance, and Sea brands, are distributed throughout the US and in 59 other countries through wholesalers, boat dealers, and retail outlets. Carl Lowrance and his family co-founded the company; son Darrell, CEO, owns 51%. Plans to sell the company to Cobra Electronics fell through in 2001 after Lowrance failed to meet sales projections.
