Kentec managing director Ray King comments; "I am really excited by this fantastic new opportunity that will both guarantee the continuity of the business and significantly broaden Kentec's range of products and services available to the fire alarm and detection market."

"Kentec has been working closely with Viking Electronic Services for over 6 years in the development of the eLAN fire alarm. When matched with Kentec's comprehensive range of conventional, analog addressable fire detection and extinguishing releasing panels this acquisition provides many new opportunities and synergies. By combining our engineering and development resources, we now have the ability to give dealers and customers more innovative new products, faster. And, we will be able to market the eLAN fire alarm system with its UL listings and FM approvals to other world markets" concludes Mr. King.
