ORIGIN & PROFILE
Founded in 1976, initially as a service provider to the industry, we have expanded into prevention and our own designs, establishing ourselves firmly in the field of Close-up Detection for works or art, in which we are pioneers.
Based in Wavre, 30 km to the south of Brussels and the crossroads of Europe, the company is the European leader in discreet alarm systems for the prevention, protection and display of works of art for exhibition to the public. It is internationally renowned for its design of electromagnetic cocoons for the protection of our cultural heritage.
