ARTECO Training Seminars in South Africa

Arteco recently returned from Johannesburg, South Africa where, through our partnership with Natech Universal Technology, we successfully trained and certified over 60 unique installation companies on the Arteco Video Solution.  Hosted at Natech Facilities, the installers came from all over the country including many from Cape Town, Durban, Port Elizabeth and near by Pretoria.  The seminars took place over a four day period where installers had complete hands-on training of the ARTECO Hybrid series as well as in-depth software training for ARTECO-LOGIC and a preview of the newly released ARTECO-LOGIC Next.

In attendance for Arteco were Enrico Viarani, Technical Director, Marco Malavolti, Product Manager, Steve Birkmeier, VP of International Sales, and Giorgio Bucci, President of ARTECO Global.

"This was a fantastic experience coming to South Africa and being part of this kick-off event for Arteco on the continent," said Steve Birkmeier, VP of International Sales for ARTECO Global, "Natech's first-class training facility was the perfect setting to host this training event and it was great to meet all of the particpants and learn more about the Security Industry in South Africa."
