Heritage & History
ACR Electronics was founded in 1956 in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, at a time when marine safety electronics were primitive by modern standards. The company grew up with the satellite search-and-rescue industry, developing Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacons (EPIRBs) and Personal Locator Beacons (PLBs) that have become standard equipment on vessels worldwide.
For seven decades, ACR has operated with a singular focus: when something goes wrong at sea, their equipment must work. There is no second chance in marine emergency situations. This uncompromising reliability standard shapes every product the company makes, from the circuit design to the battery chemistry to the waterproof housing that must function after years of saltwater exposure followed by a sudden emergency.
Fort Lauderdale Manufacturing
Building safety-critical electronics in Fort Lauderdale, Florida puts ACR close to the marine community it serves. South Florida is one of the world's busiest recreational boating markets, and the region's maritime culture permeates the company's engineering philosophy.
ACR's products are registered with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and meet international COSPAS-SARSAT standards for emergency beacon signals. The company's ResQLink series of personal locator beacons are among the most compact and capable in the world, combining GPS accuracy with 406 MHz distress signals that connect to a global network of search-and-rescue satellites. Coast Guard approval and US military procurement are the highest endorsements a safety electronics manufacturer can receive.
