Cape Town’s Castle opens in Johannesburg

March 2014 News & Events

Castle Access Control Systems, a security equipment distributor based in Cape Town, has announced the launch of its first branch in Johannesburg. The office will be headed by Vinesh ‘Nash’ Gordhan who will be responsible for serving the growing market for Castle’s products in the region.

Nash has a history in installing and maintaining security systems, previously working in the industry for many years. He will bring his experience to Castle’s Gauteng office and assist in setting up the company and growing influence. The company is hiring five people to start the new branch.

Castle has been operating from its Cape Town office for nine years, serving customers across South Africa and beyond our borders. Castle director Warwick Forde says the new offices, to be based in Midrand, will allow the company to offer better and faster service to its clients in the northern regions.

The full range of Castle products and support services will be available in the new office, these include its imported and branded systems from Mircom, Granding, KnightVision, Mulview, Allimex, and local from Centurion, ET Systems, Aiphone, Commax, Cisa, Spectrum, Nemtech and Yebo Tech Locks among others.

Forde says Castle has years of experience and the skills required to support these products, all of which were chosen because of their ability to be integrated into third-party systems. “We have good relationships with our suppliers, ensuring we can customise products to almost any requirement.”

The Castle Johannesburg branch opens its doors in March.
