During a recent visit by TAHAKOM to VITRONIC's headquarters in Wiesbaden, Germany, both companies discussed future strategies and visionary approaches to traffic management capabilities. Hani Alsaigh, Vice President of Supply Chain at TAHAKOM, Daniel Scholz-Stein, CEO of VITRONIC Group, and Dr. Youssef El Hansali, Managing Director VITRONIC KSA and CEO of VITRONIC Machine Vision Middle East LLC, signed the Local Content and Sustainability Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) driving towards Saudi Arabia Vision 2030. With a strong local presence in Saudi Arabia since 2017, VITRONIC KSA has maintained a Saudi leadership and employs over 45 Saudi professionals. This commitment to local talent ensures seamless integration of enforcement systems and continuous service provision.

Why is enforcement so crucial?

The importance of enforcement systems cannot be understated. Studies have shown that the introduction of such systems in various countries has led to a reduction in accidents and fatalities. By cracking down on traffic violations, enforcement systems not only save lives but also alleviate the burden on emergency medical services and law enforcement. Additionally, smoother traffic flow resulting from these systems reduces travel time, benefiting individuals and the nation's overall economy.

It is integrated in our business on all levels to push the boundaries of the feasible. Together with TAHAKOM, we have been able to increase the standard of living and will not stop before no more lives are lost on the road.
