New Zealand headquartered manufacturer of access control and security solutions, ICT (Integrated Control Technology) has announced its expansion into Africa and international sales appointments.


Justin Colin joins ICT in the role of Regional Sales Director to drive the company’s expansion in the continent.

“The scalable and highly customisable ICT Protege ecosystems are well-suited to the dynamic marketplace and the diversified security requirements of the region,” said Colin. “I am honoured to lead ICT’s sales efforts from Johannesburg to Morocco, and I look forward to introducing our range to security-focused businesses.

“There’s a level of excitement that comes from being the ‘new kids on the block.’ For many of my customers, the ICT product offering is new and fills a real gap in the market.”

According to Thomas Napora, VP/GM for ICT EMEA, Justin’s experience in the security industry positions him to drive ICT’s expansion in the region. “Justin has an impressive background that includes working for global blue-chip organisations in the defence, security and telecommunication sectors,” he said.

“Western Europe is a hub of entrepreneurship and innovation that is exported around the world. These future-focused organisations demand high-security solutions to protect their intellectual property, physical locations, and employees.”

Meanwhile, ICT has announced the appointment of Roberto Licari as Sales Director for Western Europe.

Licari’s experience includes working with Advancis, Verint, Bosch, and Overland Tandberg, and a track record of involvement in the international physical security integration management (PSIM) sector.

“Western Europe is a hub of entrepreneurship and innovation that is exported around the world,” explained Thomas Napora. “These future-focused organisations demand high-security solutions to protect their intellectual property, physical locations, and employees. I am delighted that we can offer dedicated support to this vibrant region with the addition of Roberto to our team.” 

I am thrilled to have been selected to represent ICT in Western Europe,” said Licari, “… I look forward to introducing our Western European customer base to the scalability of the ICT product portfolio.” 

His core responsibilities will encompass Liberia, Italy, France, Benelux, the DACH region, as well as Malta and Israel, and he is set to be taking ICT on tour throughout 2024.
