Livorsi Marine

What Livorsi Marine does

Livorsi Marine, Inc. is a US-based precision marine hardware manufacturer founded in 1986 and headquartered at 715 Center Street, Grayslake, Illinois. The company designs, engineers, and manufactures gauges, throttles, steering wheels, trim tabs, cleats, LED products, quick-release ladders, switch panels, rigging hardware, and NMEA 2000 networking components for five end segments: tow boats and performance boats (primary), plus military, pleasure boats, and work boats (secondary). It operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary of CompX International, a diversified industrial group, and runs a fully integrated in-house manufacturing operation covering CNC machining from solid billet aluminum and 316 stainless steel, polyurethane injection, hard anodizing and powder-coating, wire harness production, laser engraving, CNC sewing and embroidery, and an in-house test lab.

The product portfolio combines analog mechanical components with digital offerings, including Vantage View CAN Bus digital gauges, Mercury DTS-compatible throttles, hydraulic trim tab systems (750 to 1850 series plus Mega Tabs) built around Parker Hannifin pumps, NMEA 2000-certified adjustable LED position indicators with Deutsch plug-and-play connectors and 250-level photocell brightness control, and the DashDesigner® custom helm configuration tool. Key technology integrations include NMEA 2000 networking, Carling sealed rocker switches for billet aluminum switch panels, and Mercury propulsion compatibility for direct-fit trim tab replacement.

Revenue is generated through three channels: (1) OEM supply of custom throttles, gauges, cleats, and accessories as standard or optional equipment to boat manufacturers in tow, performance, and military segments; (2) direct-to-consumer e-commerce through livorsi.com with products priced from approximately $24 to $5,000+ and tiered handling charges from $5 (ground) to $15 (international); and (3) direct sales at major boat shows including Miami, LA, Fort Lauderdale, and IBEX. Pricing is split between publicly listed catalog unit pricing and quote-based custom/OEM configurations under multi-year contracts. The company employs 11–50 people and ships both domestically and internationally, though its stated markets served are the United States.
