Plextek Success incorporates Vehicle Tracking Systems

A recent report released announced that Plextek, Cambridge based electronics and communications design consultancy have won two coveted queens awards for Innovation and International trade.

The report also went on to say that Plextek are continuing to design and supply stolen vehicle recovery systems and its current UK purchaser is TRACKER and it’s US purchase is LoJack Corporation.

Statistics show that since 1993 TRACKER have recovered around 18000 stolen vehicles worth in the region of four hundred million pounds. Alongside this the police have managed to arrest approximately 1,800 car thieves.

Plextek was originally a design consultancy expanding out into manufacturing and supply after the 2001 recession. Soon after it is reported they became the main supplier, displacing another major multinational supplier for LoJack for their in-car stolen recovery vehicle devices.

Within the report figures showed that Plextek own tracking systems have now been installed into over five million vehicles spanning across 28 countries.

The success of the vehicle tracking system technology is said to be a major factor in their achievement of winning the international award for trade. However, they are also said to have been approached by the UK ministry of defence who were interested in their portable and fixed electronic scanning radars, it seems their success will continue to build.
