i-PRO EMEA set out to shake-up the security camera industry by building on its Panasonic reputation for quality and reliability and adding a start-up mentality focused on quickly responding to customer demands by bringing innovative and competitive new products to market.
As of October 1st, the new global independent company officially transferred from Panasonic and is now headquartered in Amsterdam, as part of the Japan-based i-PRO global company network. i-PRO EMEA will continue to build on its 60-year history of producing quality security cameras and accelerate the introduction of innovation, such as artificial intelligence.
Standalone product identity
In line with its new direction, the company will adopt the i-PRO brand as the standalone product identity from April 2022 onwards. Gerard Figols has been appointed i-PRO EMEA President to lead the organization into this new era.
