When it comes to intelligent security and communication systems, Zenitel is a global leader. Known for its world-class door intercoms, IP audio technology and unified communication solutions, the brand has a history dating back to 1901. Today, Zenitel continues to innovate - bringing together intercoms, public address and voice alarm solutions within one powerful portfolio.

For businesses, installers and system integrators in the UK, the question is simple: where can you buy Zenitel products with the right expertise, training and long-term support?

The answer is CIE-Group - Zenitel’s strategic supply partner in the UK. With decades of experience in professional audio, PA/VA systems and security integrations, CIE offers not only access to Zenitel’s full range but also the expertise, training and design support that ensures successful deployment across multiple sectors.

Why Zenitel? A Legacy of Trust and Innovation

Zenitel is not a newcomer to the security and communications industry. Founded more than a century ago, the company has consistently evolved to meet the changing needs of businesses, critical infrastructure and safety-first environments.

As Whim van Wingerden of Zenitel explained:

“Zenitel is a global leader in intelligent security communication systems. We’re mostly known for our intercom solutions—we’re a company ​dating back to 1901 with a very real history. Through that period, technology has always been our guiding star.”

This legacy, combined with cutting-edge innovation, is why Zenitel is trusted in healthcare, transportation, education, corporate, industrial and public safety environments worldwide.

Unified Critical Communication: One Platform, One Solution

One of Zenitel’s greatest strengths is its commitment to unified communication. In the past, organisations often had separate systems for intercoms, PA and voice alarm systems. Today, customers demand one intelligent platform that integrates these essential tools.

As Whim noted:

“Customers don’t want to worry about having an intercom on one platform and a public address system on another. They just want one solution. With unified critical communication, we bring that to the market.”

This approach not only simplifies system management but also ensures that communication is always reliable when it matters most.

Why Communication is 'Critical'

In safety and security, communication cannot fail. Whether it’s a hospital, an airport, or a large corporate facility, voice communication must be clear, reliable and instant.

Zenitel’s philosophy is summed up in another key statement:

“Communication is critical and it needs to work when it has to work. We usually say it gives us the opportunity to hear, to be heard and to be understood - ​anywhere and anytime.”

That focus on robust solutions, superior audio quality and long-lasting reliability is why Zenitel remains the brand of choice for mission-critical environments.
