Gunnebo Launches EntraSec -- A New Product Concept for Security Gates


STOCKHOLM, Sweden, Jan. 23, 2003 (PRIMEZONE) -- International security group Gunnebo (Stockholm:GUNN) has devoted just over a year to developing an entirely new type of cantilever sliding gate within its Gunnebo Perimeter Protection Division.

EntraSec was launched last week at Baumesse, the international building trade fair in Munich, Germany, where it attracted great interest and much favourable comment. EntraSec -- which has been developed and endurance tested for over a year -- more than satisfies current and planned European safety standards.

EntraSec is a motorised sliding gate of up to 10 metres in opening width that provides effective entrance control of entering and departing motor vehicles. EntraSec is elegant and flexible in design. With its lightweight construction and low sliding friction it offers the market unique operating reliability and length of service life. Gunnebo Perimeter Protection has therefore decided to offer its customers a 10-year guarantee for EntraSec linked to a service agreement.

With its patented modular system, EntraSec brings several advantages, including a high level of static stability, flexible production and assembly, ease of installation and lower transport costs.

"Over the past year or more, we have invested some five million kronor in the development and intensive testing of EntraSec," commented Sven Boethius, President of Gunnebo Perimeter Protection. "We expect sales of EntraSec to reach more than MSEK 50 in a couple of years. EntraSec will boost our competitive strength on existing and new markets," Boethius concluded.
