Acme Specialist Whistles

Acme Whistles is a legendary British whistle manufacturer with a history spanning over 150 years in Birmingham, England. The company’s first products, the Metropolitan and Thunderer, became so well known that their names were widely used to describe entire types of whistles.

For five generations, the same family has led the company, maintaining a strong focus on quality, durability, and continuous product development. Over the decades, Acme whistles have been used in many professional roles – including police work, tram conductors, and during both world wars.

The name ACME comes from ancient Greek and means the highest point of excellence – the moment when something is at its very best. This principle continues to guide the company’s mission: to produce the best whistles possible.
