Alcohol Countermeasure Systems, a global leader in the design and manufacture of breath alcohol testers and alcohol interlock devices, is proud to announce its 50th anniversary. Since its founding in 1976, the company has been at the forefront of road safety, engineering the precision technology required to prevent impaired driving and protect communities worldwide.

What began in 1976 as a pioneering venture into alcohol sensing technology has evolved into a global safety powerhouse. Over the last five decades, Alcohol Countermeasure Systems has set the industry standard for accuracy and reliability, partnering with law enforcement agencies, commercial fleets, and government programs to implement life-saving solutions.

“Reaching the 50-year mark is more than a corporate milestone; it is a testament to our enduring mission of public safety,” said Felix JE Comeau, President of Alcohol Countermeasure Systems. “In 1976, the concept of an ignition interlock was revolutionary. Today, our technology is a cornerstone of global efforts to reach ‘Vision Zero’—eliminating all traffic fatalities and severe injuries.”
