The LocknCharge Story
LocknCharge started with very humble beginnings. Australian educator, Paul Symons, founded PC Locs in 1998 when he noticed a need for securing computers in his school. He started by building desktop computer lockdown kits in his backyard shed and installing them in a handful of schools in Western Australia. After successfully deterring theft, word spread quickly throughout Australia. Demand for his products grew to the point where Paul left his teaching job and fully committed to inventing new products that solved mobile device charging, storing, securing and transporting challenges for schools.
Paul's son, James, has been involved in the family business since the early days. From hand making lockdown kits, to working as a traveling salesman, to General Manager – James Symons is now the acting CEO and has grown the company internationally, with offices in the United States, Europe, Japan (APAC) and Australia.
The LocknCharge product portfolio has evolved to meet the demands of customers around the world. As organisations' dependency on mobile technology continues to grow, our portfolio of solutions is also advancing – from laptop carts and stations to smart locker systems. The benefits of automated device management are far-reaching in organisations that rely on mobile devices for critical education and business applications.
With a sheer determination to think outside the box, James and Paul are most excited to solve the problems that don't even exist yet. That's been LocknCharge’s mentality from day one.
