Kentec Electronics

"Kentec is an end-to-end manufacturer, with everything sold being made in the UK. The on-going investment in production processes and factory expansion has not only allowed the company to grow and expand our reputation for quality life safety systems but is also a fantastic story for the wider UK manufacturing industry. I am leaving the company in very good hands and wish Kevin the very best of luck." The appointment of a new Managing Director coincides with the 100-year anniversary of Hochiki, and Kentec's investment in the new generation Taktis fire panel. "Taktis is the only open-protocol and multi-protocol panel, and is building significant momentum in the marketplace globally," Mr Swann concludes. "The panel is future proofed and will continue to evolve with a highly impressive roadmap of additional functions and features." Kentec employs more than 230 members of staff in its production facility, head office and research and development department in Kent. It currently sells to some 90 countries worldwide.
