In 1998, MOJO Barriers introduced its revolutionary aluminum barrier system, replacing steel with aluminum and achieving a 40% weight reduction. This shift made the product significantly more cost-effective to transport and easier to set up. The aluminum barrier quickly became MOJO Barriers’ most successful product, setting new standards in the industry—so much so that it continues to be widely imitated over a decade later.
