Historically a specialist in advanced electronic security systems for the automotive, motorcycle and energy markets, Italy-based Meta System SpA now also offers cutting-edge telematics and home-alarm solutions. Barbara Rossi writes about recent solutions which have been developed by Meta System since Industry Europe last spoke to the company.
In safe hands S
ince 2015, Meta System’s majority shareholder has been the Shenzhen-based Deren Group. Deren, which operates in various sectors, is a specialist in automotive and consumer cabling and thanks to this acquisition has further expanded its automotive range. Meta System SpA, part of the Meta System Group, designs, engineers and manufactures its solutions in-house. It is still headquartered in its native northern Italian town, Reggio Emilia. Here it has several production units and facilities, which are flanked by a plant in Mornago and a production site in Shenzhen. Traditionally very strong in Europe, the company has expanded its presence in other markets, notably China and other Asian countries, partly thanks to the Deren Group. Meta System’s core products are safety and security solutions for the automotive (vehicles and motorcycles) OEM, OES and after-market segments. Telematics solutions for the insurance world are also prominent and have led to interesting developments in home-alarm solutions, which will be discussed later in the article. Alongside this, it features an increasing power electronics range for electric and hybrid vehicles, as well as low power modules for automotive acclimatisation systems. The company, which holds all the relevant certifications, works with all the major automotive manufacturers and is experiencing significant growth, especially in the areas of power electronics, telematics, home-alarm solutions and low power modules.
