Euralarm with new general manager
Paul van der Zanden is the name of the new general manager of Euralarm. He has over 30 years of experience in the global security market.
Euralarm represents the Fire protection- and security industry and provides expertise and competence to industry, market, policy and standardization bodies. "We want to ensure that our industry continues to provide world-class professional products, systems and services that are safe, reliable and accessible to all European citizens and businesses," said new Euralarm Director General Paul van der Zanden. "We recognize the responsibility we have as an industry to deliver products, systems and services that do their job."
Euralarm plays important role
Existing economic models are changing rapidly. But new technologies and regulations offer not only opportunities, but always risks as well. Both have implications for the safety and fire protection industry. Euralarm has been in existence for nearly 50 years, so it plays an important role in promoting new regulations and standardization to support quality and an open market approach, the organization writes. A good relationship with local organizations and policy makers in the countries and in Europe is part of this process, it says.
In this changing environment, Euralarm works proactively on awareness, education and regulation. The European association provides a platform for various industry stakeholders to collaborate on standardization, innovation and market development.
