Aico is celebrating 35 years of innovative home-safety alarms and sensors after being founded in 1990.
Over the past 35 years, the technology behind Aico’s products has advanced significantly, with innovations such as RF connectivity, originally launched by Aico in the mid-2000s, now commonplace. More recently, the company’s IoT-based HomeLink Connected Home solution has grown to connect over 450,000 devices and 75,000 live gateway systems across the UK.
Following the introduction of its corporate social responsibility (CSR) programme in 2018, Aico has done almost 250 educational visits to schools and colleges and supported over 16,400 students (3,260 in 2024). Its CSR team also organise the company’s volunteering programme which has now accumulated 7,500 employee-hours for 250 causes.
Neal Hooper, managing director, Aico, said, “It’s been an incredible 35 years. We’ve doubled our turnover every five years while providing life-safety solutions to millions of homes. We have colleagues who have been with Aico for the whole of its history, as well as a senior team wholly promoted from within, demonstrating the quality and loyalty that we are blessed with.
“We would like to thank all our clients for their support since 1990; it is massively appreciated. And to the millions of households protected by Aico, thank you for choosing the very best solutions, it makes us very proud.”
