The Panic Room Company continued its world “reveal” this month, this time in association with its Finnish dealer, FSM Group, at the Safety & Security Fair 2012 in Tampere.
Harri af Hallstrom, CEO of 20-year established FSM Group, says: “At the Show we built a mock-up property demonstrating all kinds of security solutions and at the heart of the stand was the Panic Room. This was the first time a safe room of this kind had been exhibited in Finland and, as expected, visitors were highly intrigued and it became the main attraction. Serious enquiries came from the Armed Forces, Intelligence Service, National Bureau of Investigation alongside security, cash management, transport and insurance companies. The visual impact of the Panic Room brought us great success at the Show and we’re looking forward to following-up these leads.”
Running from 5 to 7 September at Finland’s Tampere Exhibition and Sports Centre, this 13th edition of the Show was a gathering of Nordic countries’ security people. Covering rescue operations, workplace safety and security management alongside numerous seminars and presentations, the show covered three exhibition halls with 260 exhibitors. Across the three days, a total of 11,235 visitors came through the doors.
As at SICUR 2012 in Madrid, the Panic Room reports press attention at Finland.
