Save the date for Securex 2025 Cape Town
January 2025
News
Specialised Exhibitions will be launching Securex South Africa, A-OSH EXPO, Facilities Management Expo, and Firexpo in the Western Cape in 2025. Taking place from 21 to 23 October, the four co-located trade shows will follow a similar format to their Johannesburg counterparts, which take place from 3 to5 June at Gallagher Convention Centre.
The security market in the Western Cape is expanding rapidly, driven by technological advancements and rising crime rates. Economic growth and urbanisation in the region are also contributing to the increasing demand for advanced security solutions. Several Johannesburg-based security companies recently extended their operations into the Western Cape to meet this growing need. This shift from Johannesburg to the Western Cape is fuelled by both market demand and the integration of cutting-edge security technologies, such as AI and enhanced surveillance systems.
Mark Anderson, portfolio director, Specialised Exhibitions.
“With this in mind, and reinforced by the Western Cape government’s implementation of focused safety initiatives, including the Law Enforcement Advancement Plan (LEAP) which has successfully lowered crime rates in certain hotspots, we took a strategic decision to introduce our current winning formula for the four co-located shows into the Western Cape. This sentiment for a Cape Town-based event is echoed by the growing number of OSH, facilities management and fire safety companies in the Western Cape. The event will provide these Western Cape companies with an unrivalled opportunity to showcase their products and services to a captive local audience actively seeking high-quality solutions,” says Mark Anderson, portfolio director at Specialised Exhibitions, a division of Montgomery Group.
