Manifesting the company’s ambitious growth plans since it became independent from Panasonic, i-PRO Co., Ltd., announced the opening of a new state-of-the-art global headquarters in Tokyo.

At the same time, the global pioneer in professional security solutions for surveillance and public safety is also relocating and expanding its R&D centre in Fukuoka.

Technological innovation

Located in the vibrant business district of Shinagawa, i-PRO’s new headquarters will become a new core hub to showcase the company’s latest technological innovation through interactive demonstrations, training sessions, certification classes, and presentations.

The new offices will include advanced creative workspaces and act as an easily accessible hub where customers, partners, and investors will have the opportunity to experience the new i-PRO spirit. The new headquarters will showcase i-PRO's edge-computing devices and illustrate the company’s two key pillars: enabling an open platform and igniting speed and agility within its go-to-market strategy.

 “Although the global establishment of i-PRO started in 2019, some regions up until April 1, 2022, still retained the Panasonic branding and shared physical locations,” said Gerard Figols, President, i-PRO EMEA B.V.
