Safety on show

On display was a selection of Evac+Chairs; an evacuation solution for stairway descent during
an emergency situation without the need of great physical strength or
lifting. Alongside the range of evacuation chairs was the Sigma Fire &
Security product range designed to protect fire, safety and security equipment,
the ‘Smart +’ range of devices create a delay and act as deterrent and
therefore reduce the likelihood of accidental damage, vandalism and misuse. The
stand allowed visitors to interact with the products and participate in live
demonstrations.

The Intersec Show is the world’s largest and most
comprehensive trade and networking exhibition for the Security and Safety
industries, offering a wide variety of products from Commercial Security,
Information Security, Fire & Rescue, Health & Safety, Homeland Security

Evac+Chair International, a leading supplier and original manufacturer
of the evacuation chair. Sigma FS design, develops, manufactures and distributes a

Mark Roberts, sales & marketing director of Evac+Chair
International said: “We are thrilled with the success of the show and the
interest generated for the Evac+Chair and Sigma product range. Not only was the
show hugely rewarding from a business perspective, but it also allowed us to
catch up with our existing customers in the Middle East and develop plans for
the future.”

Ges Wallace, director of Sigma Fire & Security added: “A
fantastic exhibition which was very well attended by well targeted visitors
from our market sector. The exhibition attracted visitors from a wide
range of countries in the Middle East, providing us with the opportunity to
promote the Sigma range of products, in particular the Smart+Guard – a device
designed to protect emergency switches from vandalism, mis-use or accidental
operation. The Smart+Guard is proven to reduce false fire alarms caused by malicious
or accidental operation of manual call point break glass.”
