Since mid-2018, the VDO Marine division has been privatized. The new name is Veratron VDO Marine. The company is based in Ruthi Switzerland and produces systems, instruments, sensors and components for the marine market. The well-known VDO ViewLine series, which succeeded the OceanLine series in 2009, is also produced and delivered by Veratron . In addition, the OceanLink and AcquaLink VDO BUS instruments are produced by Veratron .
In practice, this transition means that all support for the VDO marine products has also been taken over by Veratron . Due to the independence of VDO Marine, many instruments have been withdrawn from the range and delivery times can increase considerably.
