Product Update: Slimline Variant of amGardpro Now Discontinued 

As part of our ongoing commitment to innovation and enhancing our product offerings, we have decided to discontinue the slimline variant of the amGardpro range. 

This decision allows us to focus on development and introduce additional products to our portfolio, improving our offering into the future aligned to our core value of “saving lives by providing the best safety solutions”. 

This affects the slimline 40mm module only, not the full amGardpro product line which utilises the standard 80mm module.
