Simrad, Inc., a major manufacturer and distributor of marine electronic equipment, has relocated its corporate headquarters from Armonk, N.Y., to Seattle, Wash.

Trond Ulven, newly appointed vice president and general manager of Simrad, responsible for all domestic sales and services, cited "distance between us and our Pacific Basin suppliers" as the primary reason for the recent coast-to-coast move. Simrad's East Coast office will continue in operation as a field office, Mr. Ulven said.

Simrad, Inc. has grown from a single employee in the mid-60s to its current domestic operations of 16 persons. Simrad's offices are located at 2215 Northwest Market Street, Seattle, Wash. 98107.
