“Akhanani Distributors is the perfect company for us to align ourselves with. They have over 60 years’ combined experience in the CCTV market and therefore are more than well established in the security industry,” said Franz Kersten from Panasonic.

Morné van der Helde, from Akhanani, echoed the sentiments. “By aligning ourselves with Panasonic, there is no doubt we will be bringing our customers the best security solutions to satisfy their needs.”

Focusing on large project-based sales, Akhanani has supplied equipment throughout Africa with its footprint extending to Kenya, Nigeria, Mozambique, Botswana and Zambia, including the Zambian Parliament.

Panasonic has launched its new range of security systems called the i-PRO Extreme Series. “Security solutions and technology are constantly evolving and there is a need for industry players to join forces with technology partners to ensure that modern solutions are available in both the commercial and private sectors,” said Kersten.
