Mirasys expands heavily in central and eastern Europe

Mirasys Ltd, a leading provider of video surveillance software for the security industry, has secured a deal with Statoil, the leading gas station chain in Scandinavia and the Baltic region.

According to the deal, Statoil will upgrade 46 of its gas stations in the Baltic region to using Mirasys V series video surveillance software.  As Statoil is one of the first gas station chains that switched from analogue to digital security surveillance methods in the Baltic region, the upgrade deal with Statoil is a huge step by the Finnish Mirasys into eastern European security markets.  With several other large deliveries of video surveillance systems, Mirasys established itself as a significant player in the Central and Eastern European security surveillance markets.

Already the leading security software provider in Scandinavia and Spain, Mirasys is seeking further growth in central and eastern Europe.  To strengthen its regional foothold, Mirasys established a sales office in Hückelhoven, Germany in October 2007.  Due to the extreme market growth, Mirasys continues its expansion by appointing a regional sales manager to Slovenia by April 2008.

"Our expansion in Central and Eastern Europe surpasses all expectations.  The opening of our regional offices has proven the need and willingness the region has in upgrading their security systems to concurrent digital standards," comments Kim Långström, the Sales Director for Mirasys Ltd.  "There is a huge demand for digital video surveillance solutions on every economic and governmental segment, and Mirasys is moving in to fill the gap."

Mirasys' other high-end surveillance deliveries include the Mammut shopping centre in Budapest, Hungary, and power plants, agricultural parks and schools, creating a solid and wide base of industrial and governmental segments which rely on Mirasys' flagship products, the V and N series.

"Our capability to serve multi-national corporations that have many varying end-user needs and languages - such as Statoil - is based on the versatility and localizability of our products; at the moment, users from practically all around Europe can use our surveillance products on their native language," Långström comments.
