Working Together
Our Partnership
Contra and Fortress been partners since 2004, more than 20 years of fruitful work together.
Favourite Product Range
Their favourite product range is amGardpro, because of the combination of electromechanical interlocks and key-transfer-systems.
Contra find amGardpro technically exciting and appreciate the wide range of combinations and use cases it offers their customers.
Most Interesting Project with Fortress
Their most interesting project to date involves track construction machines. This involved installing a key box that preserved the existing process while upgrading it to a Fortress product. The upgrade enabled controlled authorisation for maintenance access via the service hatch.
