ACOT500 was founded by Gavin Diehl. Having started in 1996 ACOT500 is still a relatively young company. With vision and creative thinking, the company promotes and develops its brand, ACOT500, according to the needs and technological advancement of the industry; presenting an array of high-tech, quality products to the lighting and sound automotive market. Dealing in the mining, safety, towing, forklift, transport and emergency industries, MPI has much to offer. Since its inception in South Africa, ACOT500 has expanded its offices to Australia and the UK. At ACOT500, quality and safety is key. With thousands of ACOT500 products being made and new ones being added to the range constantly, the company works hard at ensuring that the safety of its clients is not neglected. ACOT500's products are put through a number of tests before they are mass produced. The products prove their world-class construction and capabilities as they are tested and approved by the South African Bureau of Standards, as well as Australian Standards, and this is because only the highest quality materials are used to construct ACOT500 branded products. The products under the ACOT500 brand range from LED Beacons, Light Bars, Back-up Alarms and booster clamps and cables. It is this kind of excellence that has won over corporate clients through-out Africa. To continue to live up to ACOT500's reputation of being at the forefront of technology, ACOT500 constantly works on new ideas and products, keeping up with the fast growing and ever-changing technologies of the world, extending its “Progress Beyond Development.” ACOT500 has recently developed a new Intelligent Safety System (ISS), that ensures the safety of all employees in a mine. This new system uses a Global Positioning System (GPS) to warn the driver of a vehicle of other vehicles, personal and objects around the vehicle, warning of costly accidents.
