The company is an enthusiastic SIA member involved in a variety of SIA events, programs and initiatives.

“On behalf of SALTO, I would like to thank the Security Industry Association for recognizing us as a SIA Member of the Year. SIA plays such an important role — not just in bringing awareness to our industry, but in building a community for the people that make up this industry,” said Colin DePree, sales strategy, SALTO Systems North America. “I would also like to say thank you to our SALTO team for recognizing the value of the SIA community and jumping in to share, participate and grow. I look forward to continuing our partnership with SIA!”
