In an industry where the longevity of member companies is often measured in months rather than years, the last years of OHSI’s second decade and first years of its third, have been interesting ones to say the least. These years included the award of the largest contract in the company’s history by the US Coast Guard, a short-lived merger with and eventual buy-back from a much larger company, and the retirement of a founding principal. Fortunately for Odom, an unwavering dedication to the principles of customer service and product innovation plus continuity of management and senior staff has seen the company through both good times and bad. Today Odom’s product line is constantly being updated by new and innovative products that take advantage of the experience gained while surviving and even prospering through more than two decades.

With more than three thousand echo sounders produced and distributed worldwide, Odom Hydrographic Systems, Inc., has established an enviable standard for product reliability and customer service in the survey marketplace. This by no means should indicate that the company is resting on its laurels. Examples of Odom’s continuing drive to lead the echo sounder market are the exceptional capabilities of the Echotrac MKIII and the introduction of our innovative yet affordable multibeam echo sounder, the ES3.

The quality control standards established by OHSI insure that each unit has undergone and passed some of the most rigorous testing criteria in the industry. That knowledge together with an earned reputation for exceptional customer support provides Odom’s customers with a high confidence level in the ultimate success of their surveys.

Odom Hydrographic Systems has been a mainstay in the survey industry for more than twenty years and has the customer commitment, technical knowledge and vision to continue to lead the survey industry into the future. As stated by the company’s Vice President Stephen Apsey, "Odom Hydrographic Systems will continue its commitment to our customer’s equipment and service needs.” Look to the future for Odom to bring a constant flow of new and useful tools to the market. These products will have the same hallmark qualities of utility, reliability, and ROI that have made OHSI a leader in the hydrographic survey equipment industry.
