Ei’s UK subsidiary, Aico Marks 35 Years of Innovation and Leadership in Home Life Safety
Ei’s UK subsidiary, Aico reached a major milestone in 2025, celebrating 35 years in business. Founded in 1990 in Oswestry, Aico has grown from a small local operation into the European market leader in home life safety, known for reliable products, strong technical support, and a long‑standing commitment to innovation. Reflecting on the anniversary, Managing Director Neal Hooper described 2025 as “a truly special year” for the company.
Over the past three and a half decades, the company has grown from its beginnings in Oswestry to become a leader in residential fire and carbon monoxide protection. It has built a strong reputation for education and training, supporting thousands of installers and housing professionals each year through its CPD‑accredited programmes.

For the Ei Group, Aico’s 35‑year milestone reflects a shared commitment to quality, progress, and community impact, and it highlights the strength of the partnership between our teams in Shannon and Oswestry.
As Aico marks this achievement, Ei is proud to celebrate their continued progress, leadership, and the important role they play within the Ei Group.
