Security-Net, Inc., a network of security system integrators, announced that CGL Technologies will join their membership under the leadership of newly appointed Principal, Christopher Wetzel.

The addition of CGL Technologies marks the fourth new member company for Security-Net within the past month, bringing its total number of member companies to 19. CGL Technologies is a security systems integrator based out of Westwood, Mass., recognised for providing integrated security solutions to many large facilities in greater New England, including universities, biotechnology, and pharmaceutical companies that require state-of-the-art security measures.

Wetzel's work experience

Wetzel was a longtime member of Security-Net but left the membership organisation 18 months ago. He had been active in Security-Net for fifteen years and chaired the product committee, Sales-Net committee, and been a member of the Executive Committee.

I have gained an understanding of the value Security-Net brings to the marketplace"

I feel fortunate to be a part of Security-Net and I believe that I have gained an understanding of the value Security-Net brings to the marketplace with the manufacturers, distributors, and customers, but most importantly to the Security-Net members themselves,” said Wetzel. His goal is to leverage this insight as CGL Technologies moves forward and grows in the Western Pennsylvania and Tri-state area, utilising best practices and experiences acquired during his 35 years in the business.

Video, access control, and intrusion detection

A fast-growing company, CGL Technologies has set its sights on expanding its footprint. CGL specialises in the design, delivery, and service of electronic access control, IP video, intercom, and intrusion detection systems that cater to commercial and large residential markets.

Our growing membership represents exciting strides for our organisation and CGL is an excellent addition as a company with an impressive track record and an industry leader in security integration,” said John Krumme, a member Security-Net and chairman and chief executive officer of Cam-Dex Security Corp.

Service offerings 

Wetzel looks forward to collaborating with other Security-Net members on managed services offerings to better utilise cloud technology and developments in artificial intelligence and enabling integrators to successfully confront the growing Do-It-Yourself movement in security.
