SECURE 2014 FIFA WORLD CUP
Access control products from
HID Global, a worldwide
leader in secure identity
solutions - along with dooropening solutions from parent
ASSA ABLOY - are being used
in various solutions across six
of the 12 stadiums in Brazil
that hosted the 2014 FIFA
World Cup football matches.
“We were very excited to be
playing such an important role
in protecting the safety and
security of the fans, players
and staff during this year’s
FIFA championship matches,”
said Gustavo Gassmann,
sales director, Brazil with HID
Global.
“Securing large-scale outdoor
sporting venues is one of the
industry’s most difficult security
challenges, but HID Global and
ASSA ABLOY have extensive
experience in this area. Working
with our local integration
partners, we delivered
secure solutions designed to
provide robust protection for
the people, equipment and
infrastructure at these World
Cup venues.”
‘an important role’
HID Global and ASSA ABLOY
products were used at new
stadiums in Fortaleza, Natal,
Recife, Curitiba, and Brasilia,
as well as at the legendary
Maracanã Stadium in Rio
de Janeiro, which hosted the
World Cup final on 13 July
and both the opening and
closing ceremonies for the 2016
Olympics. The two companies’
products have also been
recently deployed at the Arena
do Grêmio in Porto Alegre and
the Allianz Parque (formerly
the Arena Palestra Itália) in Sao
Paulo.
IRM GROWTH IN MANUFACTURING SECTOR - CBI
Demand for UK-made goods rose strongly in June,
the latest CBI Industrial Trends Survey shows.
Total order books picked up with above
average results in 14 out of the 17
sectors. Export order books rallied to a
level well above the long run average.
The survey of 514 manufacturers found
output volumes also continued to rise at
a similarly solid pace to that seen in the
past three months, with expectations of
stronger growth for the coming quarter.
Katja Hall, CBI Deputy Director-General,
said: “Demand for British made goods
remains buoyant and that’s helped drive
this quarter’s further rise in output.
“Growth is broad-based, with the
recovery spreading its roots, and firms
have high hopes for the coming quarter.
“However, the recent rise in Sterling
could impact on the resilient export orders
we’ve seen lately.
“As a result, now is the right time to
capitalise on boosting manufacturing
further by taking action to strengthen
the UK’s supply chains across industry.
This will help unlock further growth and
increase exports.”
The June 2014 Industrial Trends Survey
was conducted over 22nd May to 11th
June.
