GJD, the leading global manufacturers and designers of professional external detector equipment and LED illuminators has acquired the infra-red beam and barrier technology plus all related intellectual property rights of Radiovisor Limited t/a Lazer Systems.
Radiovisor’s ‘PREDATOR’ range of dual, quad and tower active IR beam sets plus the ATEX approved GS100 beam for use in hazardous areas will be manufactured at GJD’s factory in Heywood, and will undoubtedly enhance GJD’s perimeter security product range.
Radiovisor Parent Limited was established over 90 years ago and was one of the innovators of the active infrared beam.
The innovative high security PREDATOR system has been accessed by the CPNI panel and has met their requirements to be included within the catalogue of security equipment (CSE), ‘approved for UK Government use.’ The integral MM100 beam sets additionally hold NATO codification.
Radiovisor’s IR beam technology will complement GJD’s product range instantly. It will provide installers, specifiers and consultants with a ‘one stop shop’ for IP connected detectors, active infrared beams, alarm devices and CCTV LED illuminators for all aspects of external security detection and illumination.
Mark Tibbenham, Managing Director of GJD said, “We are extremely proud to make this announcement. A strategic acquisition of this nature will enable the company to substantially develop and grow in terms of security technology innovation. There is a huge demand for high-end and intelligent IR beam sets as well as reliable detectors that can be used in hazardous areas.” He added, “It is our sincere belief that GJD’s perimeter detection equipment is at the forefront of security in terms of detection ability, reliability, and freedom of false alarms. The inclusion of Radiovisor infrared beam technology will even further enhance our product offering.”
Stephen Lasenby, Managing Director of Radiovisor Limited commented, “GJD is a professional and well respected company and is ideally placed to take our IR beam technology forward. We are confident that our customers and suppliers will benefit greatly from the ‘GJD’ brand, their focus on technology innovation and world class service.”
