Mr Jake Kim introduces Samsung Techwin Europe Ltd 
Samsung OPTO-Electronics UK Ltd has changed its name to Samsung Techwin Europe Ltd.

The company states that the change, which came into effect on the 1st January 2009, cements its commitment to the pan-European professional security market and the development of the Samsung Techwin range of products.

Commenting on the name change managing director Mr Jake Kim said: "Our strategic decision to break away from Samsung's consumer imaging business in March 2008 has allowed us to focus exclusively on the professional security market. This has led to Samsung Techwin quickly becoming one of the fastest growing security brands as we continue to expand our operations across Europe."

Mr Kim adds: "A substantial investment in research & development has resulted in us being able to offer a very exciting and innovative range of security solutions. To successfully promote and support these new products, many of which incorporate ground-breaking technology, we have bolstered our team by recruiting the best possible sales, technical, product management and marketing people who share our vision to provide the highest possible levels of support for our clients."
