Bosch Security Systems announced recently that it would change its name to Bosch Building Technologies from March.
The company offers security, safety, and communication technology solutions.
“We want the scope of our portfolio to be reflected better in our name as well,” Gert van Iperen, its president, explained.
The division comprises two organisationally discrete units, the global product business and the regional system integration services business, which operates in eight countries.
In these eight countries, the unit provides integrated solutions for commercial buildings. Depending on the region, the portfolio includes building security, energy services, and automation.
For customers, this means planning, installation and operation of these solutions, as well as additional services, from a single source.
The product business, to be known in future as Bosch Security and Safety Systems, will continue to operate as a global supplier of video, intrusion, fire, and voice alarm systems, access control systems and management software, all under the Bosch brand.
Its portfolio is rounded off with professional audio and conference systems for the transmission of voice, sound, and music.
The products are distributed exclusively to system integrators or through wholesale dealers.
This step will not affect the names of the division’s legal entities, the company has clarified.
In its product business, Bosch Security Systems will merge its video systems, intrusion detection, access control, and management software business units to form a single business unit to be called Security.
In making this move, the company is responding to the growing demand for sector-specific, integrated security solutions.
“In combining these three business units, our aim is to ensure we can meet our customers’ needs even better in future,” van Iperen said.
“In the years ahead we want to actively shape the process of transformation brought about by the Internet of Things as well as focus more on connectivity, integrated solutions, and services.
“At the same time this move will strengthen our competitiveness.”
Bosch Security Systems is a leading global supplier of security, safety, and communications products and systems.
In selected countries Bosch offers solutions and services for building security, energy efficiency and building automation. – VNS
