Mr. Alkelai went on to say, "This acquisition will enhance RISCO Group's growth opportunities worldwide by utilizing our current distribution network and branch offices to market the Keyware brand while also giving us extra channels to promote RISCO Group's current range of products".
All branch offices including Keyware branches in Belgium, France and Switzerland will now sell all RISCO Group's brands: RISCO Group's high-end software solutions, Rokonet and GardTec intrusion alarm systems and detectors and Keyware access control systems.
