More than 100 years in the making, Pharos Marine Automatic Power, Inc. has set the standard in providing high quality engineered marine navigational aids with complete support services in the oil and gas and ports and harbors industries. Today, PMAPI provides the latest innovative designs, most advanced signaling products and customer focused technical services throughout the world. Our global experience and resources are a proven competitive advantage in the harsh environments related to offshore oil platforms, ports and harbors, lighthouse authorities, bridge and traffic signaling, aviation obstruction applications, and many other industries where navigational and personal safety is of primary concern. 

Pharos Marine was founded more than 100 years ago; the company’s founder, Gustav Dalen, had a distinguished career, winning a Nobel Prize when he introduced a system of acetylene gas lights capable of operating for a year without service. Originating in 1947 as The Lighthouse, Inc., Automatic Power Inc. provided aids to navigation for the first oil rigs of the coast of Texas. In 1989, the two companies merged, establishing a combined world leader in the Nav-Aids field. Today Pharos Marine Automatic Power is a Portfolio Company of Toxaway Capital Partners and has strategic locations in Houston, Louisiana, Pennsylvania, California, London and Singapore, as well as a worldwide network of agents and distributors.

The worldwide network of agents, engineers, and salesmen endows the Pharos Marine Automatic Power team with the endless ability to consult the application of products, engineer custom projects, and explore unique, innovative application of its products. With a combined century of experience in a highly regulatory business environment, Pharos Marine Automatic Power provides a one-stop-shop option for offshore aids-to-navigation.
