In consolidating its businessess, South Africa’s OTT Technologies, LMT Products and ADG Mobility has successfully completed a merger, and becoming the OTT Group.

The merger is strategically placed to deliver a broad range of products, and bring about branding and structural changes in future.  In 2020, South African armoured vehicle designer and manufacturer OTT acquired LMT, which has been in business rescue since September 2019, following Denel’s loss of control of the company.

LMT designs and manufactures a variety of protected products, ranging from protected cabs for Mercedes Benz to the LM8 and LM13 vehicles. The acquisition of LMT Products is considered a strategic move for OTT Technologies to expand on its own range of proven mine-protected armoured vehicles.
