IDIS, the South Korean surveillance product manufacturer, has opened new offices and training facilities in London. The firm’s remaining in its recently refurbished building, The Mille in Brentford. It has extra desk and recreational space and meeting rooms, and has doubled the capacity of the company’s training and demonstration rooms, pictured.
Over the last two years, IDIS says, it’s grown its sales force in the UK as well as added to its technical support team, while it’s seen a larger partner network and customer base. Brian Song, Managing Director, IDIS Europe, said: “Our new UK office is testament to the growth surge IDIS has experienced over the last four years. Since the launch of our own brand business 2013, we have expanded our workforce and infrastructure both here in the UK and at our global headquarters and manufacturing facility just outside Seoul, as well as opening regional headquarters in the Middle East and the US. The new facilities in Brentford mean that we can continue to deliver world-class sales and technical support at a local level both now and in years to come.”
Last year also saw Sean Um join IDIS Europe after an eight-year tenure at the IDIS headquarters in various product and sales roles. In his new position as product manager, Um works with installers and end users. His remit is to work at a local level to understand the needs of European customers and ensure a continuous cycle of innovation.
Song added: “Since joining us last year, Sean has been instrumental in liaising with our product planning and development team in South Korea. His appointment has ensured that we continue to bring new products and technologies to market that deliver improvements upon common industry offerings that strengthen security and improve the user experience.”
IDIS will show its core technologies, including the flagship DirectIP offering, and mark its 20 years as a company, at this year’s IFSEC International at London’s ExCel on June 20 to 22, on stand G700.
