INTEGRATED Control Technology (Europe) Ltd has announced an exclusive distribution agreement with Brussels-based electronic security distributor, Harco HIS.
From an ICT perspective, the partnership is another step in a strategic plan aimed at developing NZ-based security manufacturer ICT into a premier global supplier of access control solutions, and to meet increased demand for the industry leading ProtegeGX and WX platforms across the EMEA region.

"We are thrilled to partner with ICT," he continued. "I believe the market in our region is readier than ever for more powerful and reliable physical security solutions that integrate access control and automation from a single manufacturer. The ICT passion and dedication for innovation makes them the right fit for our portfolio."
