Joining Samsung Techwin from Pelco, where for the last five years he has been responsible for sales strategy throughout Russia and CIS, Feodor has extensive experience of the security industry having previously worked for Luis+ one of Russia's largest distributors.

"There is enormous potential in Russia and CIS for Samsung Techwin's professional range of security products," said Feodor, who will be based in Moscow. "The market is flooded with cheap products many of which are unreliable and do not come with a professional level of pre and post sales support. I am very much looking forward to educating potential customers on how little extra it will cost to change from a "no name" brand to Samsung Techwin, whilst at the same time receive a host of other benefits which include three year warranties on all products, free system design and free technical support."

The appointment of Feodor is part of an ongoing expansion programme to support Samsung Techwin's commitment to be the number one European professional security brand. With its head office in the UK, the company has also recently opened offices in France, Spain, Italy, Germany and the Czech Republic.
