Barry East, marketing and sales director of Impro said that pleasing growth in the European market had resulted in further investment in the region. “We have a solid footing in a number of European markets and the opening of the new office will further entrench our position, especially in Spain and Portugal.

“Globally, access control is becoming a critical business consideration and our experience in South Africa stands us in good stead within international markets. We are able to bring world-class solutions that have proven themselves in arduous conditions. Couple this with the local office and on the ground support, and customers have the best-of-both-worlds.

“This is the base of our growth strategy and our new Spanish office embodies this perfectly. We have a solid team in Madrid that have decades of collective experience in the access control industry, as well as an extensive product range to meet their diverse market needs,” said East.

Impro Technologies currently exports to some 60 countries, spanning four continents. The group has offices in the USA, the Netherlands and South Africa, as well as a partner network across the globe to ensure the philosophy of global player, local partner is achieved.
