40 years of UK manufacturing

Manufacturer of call points and
audible visible warning devices used
in fire systems and other industrial
applications, KAC Alarm Company,
is celebrating its 40th anniversary at
its UK manufacturing base in
Redditch. Since it was founded in
1972, KAC has manufactured an
estimated 30 million call points.

The company was responsible for
developing an innovative new
product design that quickly replaced
the original, ‘break glass’ devices in
use at the time. So successful was the
concept that it was rapidly adopted
as the de facto industry standard.
