Kentec Electronics, a manufacturer of life-critical control systems, has welcomed Fortus Group Holdings (‘Fortus’) to its Kentec Authorized Distributor (KAD) scheme, providing the fire and security distributor with dedicated product training and support, enhancing its ability to provide comprehensive solutions to installers. 

The KAD scheme is a global network of specialists, experts and trained fire alarm distribution companies, that are recognized for their high levels of Kentec product knowledge and provide a full range of Kentec systems to suit all applications and building types.

This exclusive network of distributors has been carefully selected to ensure installers and end-users receive expertly specified goods, and by holding stock locally ensure fast delivery and supply of products. Fortus recently doubled its size following the simultaneous acquisition of Enterprise Security Distributor, a UK based distributor, and RE:SURE Intelligence, a remote CCTV monitoring specialist, providing the business with an even wider range of expertise.

We feel they are an important new addition to the scheme.”
