The Process

Driven by Quality

From our research/development and manufacturing center in Finch, Ontario, Canada we build, test and assemble, each individual Sonar. Our facility houses a 100 cubic meter acoustic test tank for testing and calibration after final assembly.

Individual parts are fully inspected and tested throughout the process to ensure the quality, reliability and performance expected of a MAQ Sonar. Once these parts have passed our QC tests they are assembled into the components that make up an Omni Sonar system. Only after rigorous testing in our tank, and temperature cycling in our heat chamber, is a system carefully packed for shipment to the client.

Our Story

50 Years in the Industry

With a distributor network covering over 30 major fishing nations and continuing to grow new ideas, demands are continually being received and acted upon. Changes are happening rapidly in the industry and MAQ will always be a leader in Innovation + Performance.

1970’s

The first Omni-directional fishing sonar was produced. It worked well on slow moving fish but was unable to detect individual or fast moving fish.

1979

MAQ Sonar produces first Sonar (45 KHz) which was able to detect Yellow Fin Tuna. It becomes popular with the American, French and Spanish Yellow Fin Tuna fleets in all 3 oceans.

1995

MAQ Sonar’s new design (90 KHz) becomes popular for detecting Spanish Albacore Tuna. It becomes the Sonar of choice for detecting near surface fish, fast moving fish and small fish.

1999

MAQ Sonar moves into its new Production and office complex and adds a 100 cubic meter acoustic test tank for testing and calibration after final assembly.

2008

RDT option is made available to the fishing fleets. The detection possibilities are increased and attract the attention of large Russian fishing vessel fleets.

2010

The new 60 KHz transducer is introduced to the MAQ line up and finds a home alongside the MAQ 90 and MAQ 22. Wideband is introduced into the 22 KHz transducer.

2018

MAQ’s proven design has been reconfigured to a fully stabilized system.
