Company Profile
MiX Telematics (Group)
MiX Telematics Limited was originally established in 1996 as TeliMatrix - a vehicle tracking and recovery business operating under the Matrix Vehicle Tracking brand. In 2005 the business of TeliMatrix was sold to Matrix Vehicle Tracking (Pty) Limited to accommodate the introduction of Kagiso as an empowerment partner. Effective 1 October 2007 TeliMatrix acquired Omnibridge, the fleet and vehicle management operations previously owned by Control Instruments Group Limited. This acquisition created an integrated group focusing on all levels of vehicle telematics. The Group listed on the JSE on 12 November 2007 in the Business Support Services sector under the “MiX” short code and renamed to MiX Telematics in 2008. MiX Telematics Limited has offices in various countries and a number of subsidiaries as laid out below:
MiX Telematics Africa
Formerly known as Matrix Vehicle Tracking, the business was founded in 1996 by current MiX Telematics CEO Stefan Joselowitz and is one of the largest vehicle tracking and recovery businesses in South Africa. Now trading as MiX Telematics Africa, the business’s core activity is stolen vehicle recovery, personal safety and the provision of enterprise fleet solutions. The business operates its own helicopter and a network of dedicated ground response teams throughout South Africa. It has the largest GSM tracking subscriber base in South Africa and in its 12 years of operation the business has developed some of the most advanced vehicle recovery units in the market.

MiX Telematics North America
Here today, here tomorrow. Tripmaster, now trading as MiX Telematics North America, invented onboard computers back in the 1970’s. Since then, many other systems have been introduced. Some have failed. Most haven’t measured up. Today, MiX Telematics North America remains the leader with a singular focus to deliver the most flexible systems for your fleet business. Why the continued demand for our products? Return on investment and consistent reliability.
Tripmaster systems have been in daily use since 1979, providing fleets with greater efficiency, safety, and improved profitability. Acquired by MiX Telematics in April 2008, MiX Telematics North America now offers customers the latest, state of the art products and services for the efficient management of mobile assets.
The company’s lineage parallels the history of onboard computers (OBCs) because “Tripmaster” was the first such device on the market.
