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.
