Fifty years of engineering vehicle security in Britain
Scorpion designs, builds and monitors vehicle security and telematics in-house, from our base in Chorley. The people who make it are the people who stand behind it.
A UK manufacturer, since 1973
Scorpion Automotive has designed and built vehicle security and telematics in Chorley, Lancashire since 1973. Half a century in one field is rare, and it shows in the products: the R&D, the firmware and the manufacturing are all our own.
That matters when the job is hard. A signal that isn't on the shelf, a vehicle that behaves differently, an insurer with a specific requirement, these are the calls we take, because we built the technology in the first place.
Why the manufacturer is the one to ask
Plenty of companies fit vehicle electronics. Fewer design, build and support their own. That difference is the whole reason to come to us.
We make it, so we understand it
Design, firmware and manufacture happen under one roof in the UK. When you ask a question about how a product behaves, the people who built it are the ones who answer.
Recognised to the standards that matter
Our products are Thatcham and VCA recognised, and our manufacturing carries an IATF 16949 automotive quality heritage. That is the language insurers, fleets and manufacturers work in.
We watch over it, around the clock
Our monitoring centre runs 24 hours a day, every day, staffed by our own team in the UK. A stolen vehicle alert reaches a real person who acts on it.
Fitted on the production line
Vehicle manufacturers trust our electronics for line-fit programmes, not just the aftermarket. That OE discipline runs through everything we build.
Held to the marks that count
Recognition from the bodies insurers, fleets and manufacturers trust, earned on the products and in the factory.
Thatcham recognised
Vehicle security products recognised under the UK insurance-backed scheme that buyers and insurers use as their benchmark.
VCA approved
Products approved through the Vehicle Certification Agency, the UK government approval authority for vehicle systems.
IATF 16949 heritage
Manufacturing built on the automotive industry quality standard for design and production, the discipline behind OE supply.
A real team, watching, at any hour
When a tracked vehicle is tampered with or moved without authorisation, the alert doesn't disappear into an inbox. It reaches our own monitoring centre, staffed around the clock in the UK, where the team verifies the alert and acts with the driver and the authorities.
Running it ourselves is a deliberate choice. It keeps the response fast, accountable and close to the people who built the tracking in the first place.
