Securex expands to Cape Town

October 2024 News & Events

Specialised Exhibitions, a division of Montgomery Group, will be launching Securex South Africa, A-OSH EXPO, Facilities Management Expo, and Firexpo in the Western Cape in 2025. Taking place from 21 to 23 October, the four co-located trade shows will follow a similar format to their Johannesburg counterparts, which take place from 3 to 5 June at Gallagher Convention Centre.

The security market in the Western Cape is expanding rapidly, driven by technological advancements and rising crime rates. Economic growth and urbanisation in the region are also contributing to the increasing demand for advanced security solutions. Several Johannesburg-based security companies recently extended their operations into the Western Cape to meet this growing need. This shift from Johannesburg to the Western Cape is fuelled by both market demand and the integration of cutting-edge security technologies, such as AI and enhanced surveillance systems.

“With this in mind and reinforced by the Western Cape government’s implementation of focused safety initiatives — including the Law Enforcement Advancement Plan (LEAP), which has successfully lowered crime rates in certain hotspots — we took a strategic decision to introduce our current winning formula for the four co-located shows into the Western Cape. The growing number of OSH, facilities management, and fire safety companies in the Western Cape echoes this sentiment for a Cape Town-based event. The event will give these Western Cape companies an unrivalled opportunity to showcase their products and services to a captive local audience actively seeking high-quality solutions,” says Mark Anderson, Portfolio Director at Specialised Exhibitions.

Organisations wishing to exhibit at Securex South Africa, A-OSH EXPO, Facilities Management Expo, and Firexpo in the Western Cape in 2025, can contact the Securex South Africa team on [email protected] or [email protected] to book a space or capitalise on a sponsorship opportunity.
