Garmin Arrives at a Milestone: 100 Million Products Sold

“This
is
a tremendous milestone for Garmin.  In just 23 years, we’ve gone from a startup company
into
one that is a global consumer brand – and one that continues to extend its reach by creating
new
markets and product categories that focus on location technology,” said Cliff Pemble, Garmin’s
president
and COO.  “It is our associates and customers who have made this achievement possible.
 Garmin
is fortunate to have a global workforce that is passionate, able to dream big and execute
successfully
on those ideas.  Our customers are also passionate about their Garmin devices, and
the feedback
they provide has been instrumental in delivering new products that make their activities
safer, more
successful, and more enjoyable.”

Garmin was founded in 1989 by
a small group
of engineers with a big idea: that GPS technology could be utilized by everyday consumers
for both work
and play.  In 1991, Garmin sold its first GPS-enabled device.  Six years later,
in 1997, the
company sold its millionth unit.  A decade after that, in 2007, it had sold 25 million
devices.
 It only took another five years for Garmin to sell its 100 millionth product.

In
addition
to continually advancing its highly diversified automotive/mobile, fitness, outdoor, marine,
and aviation
markets, Garmin is growing its presence geographically in emerging markets like China, India,
and South
America; investing in its global automotive OEM capabilities; and making key strategic acquisitions
that
enhance the company’s technology portfolio.

The 100 million milestone
will
be celebrated through a commemorative logo to appear on product packaging, in point-of-purchase
materials,
in Garmin’s online assets, and available to Garmin dealers.  Learn more about Garmin
