MIAMI, FL – CIAS Security, a global manufacturer of physical perimeter security systems based in Italy, announced today the company’s extended expansion into North America and Latin America to provide full-time on the ground presence in priority geographic and vertical markets.
“While we have been exporting our systems into the United States for the past 14 years, we felt the need for a full-time presence in these very important markets,” said Raffaele De Astis, Executive Managing Director, CIAS Security. “It will allow us to more effectively penetrate the Americas by expanding our reach and connecting on a daily basis with strategic partners and customers here.”
With US Headquarters and a warehousing facility in Miami, Florida, the expansion plan will include an additional location in Montreal with full-time staff on the ground.
CIAS specializes in the manufacture of high security outdoor intrusion sensors (microwave barriers and fence detection systems) which are installed in prisons, utilities, nuclear power plants and industrial sites in the U.S.A.
The company is also expanding its network of integrators, installers and distributors in North America and will more aggressively pursue the vertical markets of energy, corrections and transportation, with a particular focus on airport sites.
“This expansion into the Americas will strengthen CIAS's position as an industry leader in perimeter and outdoor security systems worldwide,” added Mr. De Astis. “It will further increase our market share in the USA, Canada and the Americas.”
He added that technical support to integrators (and end users) is a priority in this strategic move. The expanded entry into North America will take place over the next few months.
“Our existing customers will continue to receive the same high quality of service which they have come to expect," added Mr. De Astis. “We look forward to growing our customer base and serving this market with even greater efficiently and responsiveness.”
CIAS will be attending GSX/ASIS in Dallas in September and encourages people to visit them at Booth 1518.
