ACDC: A South African Business Success Story

Loading player...
Mario Maio — the founder and CEO of ACDC Dynamics — joins Radio Life & Style's Mike Charles and ACDC Express Ballito store manager Soorae Jagdeep for a chat about the history of the brand that South Africans across the country have come to know and love...

In 1984, Mario Maio set up a small business manufacturing electrical transformers in a Johannesburg garage. Over the next two decades, the ACDC Dynamics company he created came to dominate manufacturing, import, and distribution in South Africa’s electrical goods sector. Then, in 2007, a retail arm to the business was born: ACDC Express. Today ACDC Express is South Africa’s largest electrical retail franchise, and the rest (as they say) is history!
