Mix Telematics

History

Since 1996, Matrix Vehicle Tracking has grown to be known as the technological and personal safety leader as far vehicle tracking and recovery in the South African market is concerned. We now can share this expertise on a global basis!

Development

In October 2007, TeliMatrix, Matrix Vehicle Tracking's holding company, acquired Omnibridge - an international fleet management company with distribution capability on 6 continents and in over 75 countries. With the acquisition, Omnibridge brought with brands including DataTrak in the UK, Tripmaster in the USA and VDO Fleet Manager. A telematics giant was born!
After the acquisition, TeliMatrix listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange on 12 November 2007, under the share code "Mix". The listing was successful and we are excited and optimistic about the future of the group!
The group realised that it is important to have proper brand recognition on an international basis, and took its South African heritage into consideration.

The Result

From 1 September 2008, Matrix Vehicle Tracking went global with the group under a new name "MiX Telematics Africa (Pty) Ltd".
MiX Telematics Africa incorporated the local distribution of the fleet management products, previously distributed by Omnibridge. The African division will represent the full suite of products, while Omnibridge will remain the technological hub and be responsible for international expansion. Omnibridge therefore renamed to "MiX Telematics International".
Customers can look forward to dealing with the same company and people. Our promise that the focus is on customers first has undoubtedly brought the group to the point where its expertise can now be shared on a global basis.
Our well established Matrix Vehicle Tracking brand will remain as the leading personal safety and security tracking unit brand. For companies and fleet managers our extended commercial solutions range will be known under the MiX Telematics brand.
