2229 Optelecom-NKF Inc., manufacturer of advanced 572 Siqura and Optelecom video surveillance solutions, has been renamed from today as a result of its recent merger with the Dutch company, 2075 TKH Group which was finalised on 27 January, 2011.

Over the past two years, Optelecom-NKF has positioned nearly all its surveillance solutions under the Siqura brand name, with the exception of its Optelecom fibre optic line in the US. Once the merger with TKH Group was made definite, it was decided to rename Optelecom-NKF.

As from today, the EMEA offices will be named Siqura and the company headquarters will be relocated to Gouda, the Netherlands.
In order to effectively market the existing Siqura and Optelecom brands as well as the TKH Security Solutions offering in the Americas, the Optelecom-NKF US office will be renamed as TKH Security Solutions USA Inc.

“Optelecom-NKF has always been an adept player in the global industry of video networking, both through its innovative IP solutions as well as its established and extensive fibre optic line,” says Tom Overwijn, CEO of Siqura and TKH Security Solutions USA. “In becoming a member of TKH Group and giving our company two different names, we are able to promote Optelecom-NKF’s promising potential in ways that better ensure the success of our customers. TKH Security Solutions USA will be an accessible portal through which the entire range of solutions comprised in the TKH security sector will become available in the Americas. Throughout the rest of the world, the now well-known Siqura name will continue to safeguard and endorse our longstanding commitment to quality and reliable surveillance solutions that meet the specific needs of our customers and partners. Through this merger and name change, we expect to more effectively serve and benefit our customers and the industry,” Overwijn said.

TKH Group is a leading provider of telecom, building, and industrial solutions with more than 3,500 employees and an annual turnover of €893.5 million (2010). Security systems comprise approximately 10 per cent of the Group’s yearly business.
