IAC COMPANY PROFILE

With more than 18 years of experience, a highly specialised team and a carefully selected portfolio of industrial solutions, IAC strives to be the leader in every market vertical that we enter. Our specialisation is taking a niche international product offering and adapting it into solutions for the unique requirements of the African market. We are a one stop distributor to the industrial market and supply the industry with: • Industrial Ethernet & Fiber Network Switches • Ruggedised Connectors • HMI • Converters • Wireless Networks • Digital Signage & Video Walls • Decentralised IP & Thermal Surveillance • Biometric & RFID Access Control • Perimeter Intrusion Detection Systems

All products are backed up by a competence centre assisting the client with design, consulting, technical support and training. IAC was established as a specialist division of the Communica Group to distribute the Hirschmann industrial Ethernet range of products and established this brand as a standard in the local market. Hirschmann, the undisputed world market leader in Industrial Ethernet Communications, in partnership with IAC have seen their market share in South Africa grow to unparalleled levels. The Hirschmann offering consists of the broadest range of Industrial Ethernet products from a single vendor and has thus firmly established itself as the preferred network supplier to some of the largest Industrial Automation projects in South Africa. In line with our vision to maintain our focus on ruggedised solutions for the African market, in 2004 IAC introduced the local market to Mobotix decentralised High Resolution IP Cameras. The partnership with Mobotix in Germany continues to grow from strength to strength with an ever increasing number of customers benefitting from the decentralised concept and leading edge technology that is unique to the Mobotix line such as 6MP mobile IP surveillance and entirely solar powered surveillance solutions to name but a few. Recongnising the need to offer cost effective world class industrial networking solutions, IAC proudly added the Korenix range to it’s portfolio, a market leading brand in industrial networking and computing solutions with an extensive track record in providing innovative, value focused solutions to the industrial market. Our product portfolio has expanded over time with the solutions being very carefully chosen to complement our vision and existing range. These include:
