Our story so far ...
1987
The Beginning
The seed of SharkEye was sown in 1987 when British firm SuperTracker revolutionised the market with “hang-on” light beam wheel aligners. Their gravity-based system solved the accuracy issues of clamp-on systems. Tom Jackson, a British Army veteran, joined as SuperTracker’s very first employee, working on commission only. He became a top salesman and key contributor to their breakthrough.
1997
SES – QuickTrak
After a decade at SuperTracker, Tom launched SES-QuickTrak in Stoke-on-Trent. His aligners were simple, reliable, and popular—many are still in use today. Chinese firms eventually copied the design—a compliment, really. SES-QuickTrak later collapsed under different ownership while Tom was living in Thailand. He returned in 2009 and restarted operations from his garage in South Yorkshire, building a new generation of machines with help from local fabricators Paul and Duncan (not to be confused with teen-pop duo PJ & Duncan!).
2010
A Meeting of Minds
Carl Gibson, owner of Right-Track (a truck alignment business), discovered Tom’s products online. Fed up with inflexible suppliers, Carl partnered with Tom to develop a new commercial vehicle aligner. Tom built his distributor base while Carl supplied his franchise network.

Legacy and Loss
Tom sadly passed away in 2015. Carl continued to support the business and expanded his garage chain, RightFit Autocentres, while promoting and selling QuickTrak aligners.
2016
SharkEye is Born
Tom’s widow sold QuickTrak to Paul and Duncan. Realising they lacked experience in the auto trade, they brought Carl on board. In 2016, Carl acquired a third of the business and took full operational control. He sold his garage group to focus on global growth, rebranding the company to SharkEye. In 2019, Carl became sole owner. Paul and Duncan continued as exclusive fabricators of SharkEye’s steelwork, proudly maintaining the “Made in Sheffield” status. In 2021, SuperTracker went into administration—completing the circle.
2024
An Exciting Future Ahead
Today, SharkEye operates from a 10,000 sq ft HQ in Hellaby, Rotherham, with a showroom and training centre in Worksop, a manufacturing facility in Mumbai, India, and a growing presence in the USA.
2025
A New Era
The launch of the SharkEye 7 range—our simplified global lineup—has been a major international success. Precision, durability, and simplicity now have one name worldwide: SharkEye.
