“Today, manufacturers will be able to contact representatives of design organizations from across the country and to consider the problem in complex. Nowadays, the client needs not only a barrier, but also sensors, CCTV – the entire system. The consumer needs security, and the group of companies within the Penza cluster is able to install the whole security complex,” the agency interlocutor noted.
