Commenting on Secutech India, Mr John Shi, General Manager for MFNE said: “In response to the fast growing Indian security market, we launched Secutech India last year and this year’s show continues to receive positive feedback from visitors, especially local industry players. Both the exhibitors and I believe that this show really connects industry suppliers with the local market.”

Local exhibitors included Cease Fire, Core Tech, Matrix Comsec, NSK Security System and Wipro and international brands were represented by companies such as HID (US), Hikvision (China), Merit Lilin (Taiwan), Mobotix AG (Germany), Safran (France) and Vivotek (Taiwan).

Secutech India recorded 13,444 visitors from 15 countries and regions. Local visitors accounted for 95 percent. Local exhibitor Micro Media Marketing Pvt Ltd returned to this year’s show following its successful appearance in 2012. One of their new products was an anti-crime mobile alert application for women and the elderly. The product received good feedback at the show. Mr Lakshman Sundar, the company’s General Manager for Media Relations and PR said: “The show is fantastic! This is the right place to be. The attendees are a perfect mix of dealers and distributors.”

Joining the show for the first time was Indian company Core Tech Solutions Pvt Ltd which launched new products that included an auto tracking device.

Local visitors said they found many new ideas and products at Secutech India. Mr Ravinder Singh, Managing Director for Gurutek Systems Pvt Ltd, thought that the show had a diverse range of exhibitors. “It allowed me to catch up with the trends in the market and everything is in one place.
