UAE-based players like Al Falak Middle East, one of the region’s largest security specialists, which is targeting 15 per cent to 20 per cent annual business growth leading up to the Dubai Expo 2020, would also showcase its strength. Another local firm Al-Taaraf Electronics is expected to launch its Display Command and Control Centre and other Physical Security-related products at Intersec 2015.
According to Sohaib Siddiqui, projects director at Al-Taaraf Electronics, “As more and more public infrastructure comes about across the Middle East and Africa, the need to have better and more complex access control and security systems will increase incrementally.
“We foresee security to be of utmost importance all over the globe, and the new security directives taken by most countries in the Middle East will definitely boost security sense at all levels of society.”
Access and entrance control comprises the second largest product area at Intersec’s Commercial Security section – the largest of all five dedicated sections at the three-day event, including Information Security, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Homeland Security & Policing.
Ahmed Pauwels, CEO of Intersec’s organiser, Messe Frankfurt Middle East, noted, “With the emphasis on achieving safe and secure working and living environments becoming a priority for establishments across the Middle East and Africa, it is not surprising that we are witnessing growing interest in access control systems and products.
“As the region’s leading trade and networking platform for safety and security, Intersec is the ideal venue for buyers to source innovative, cutting-edge security solutions to suit their needs.”
The 17th edition of Intersec would feature conferences, seminars and workshops covering Fire Safety; Commercial Security; Occupational Safety and Safety Design in Buildings.
The last edition in January 2014 featured 1,213 exhibitors and hosted 24,766 visitors from 131 countries, which made it the largest and most international trade fair for security and safety in the world.
