Exclusive preview of the new generation of locking systems at the eccos pro user conference
The industry-wide eccos pro gmbh user meeting was held once again this year with the headline, "Think outside the box – new ideas and solutions for spas and water parks". On 8 and 9 October, the system house presented its current portfolio, innovations and new ideas in the field of spa management in the Bad Kreuznach Parkhotel Kurhaus. This was an ideal opportunity for its parent company, SAG, to present its own most important new developments to a select target group for the first time.
At the event, which was dominated by the topic of innovation, Joaquin Borge Sanchez, Division Manager for locking systems for doors and furniture at SAG, presented an exclusive preview of the new generation of locking systems, which is already eagerly anticipated by insiders as the digital revolution for the spa industry. Further details will only be disclosed at the official launch of the product.
In line with this year's headline, the speaker line-up included the well-known TV journalist, author and media personality Michael Wigge. The 39-year-old entertainer has been working on productions for the ARD, ZDF, 3Sat, and WDR broadcasting stations with great success for many years. He is considered an expert in creative and innovative thinking, not least thanks to his popular lecture series. His personal theme, "Think outside the Box", was the central theme of the event. This was further emphasised by Dr Vincenza Pignataro, CEO of eccos pro, novacom and EDV-Service Schaupp, the three computer retailers in the SAG business division for guest management systems. She welcomed the 140 participants from all parts of the country and presented on the reorientation of the eccos pro portfolio.
In his welcome speech, Peter Pongratz – CEO of the parent company, Schlagbaum AG, since last September – emphasised the significance of eccos pro in the context of the corporate strategy and the value of SAG product innovations tailored to market demands, which are integrated in the solutions produced by eccos pro and its affiliates.
Peter Pongratz, CEO of Schulte-Schlagbaum AG, emphasises the importance of the system houses of eccos pro and its affiliates for the Schulte-Schlagbaum Group.
