KABA Selected for Largest Hotel Project in Panama
Extending its Latin American presence, KABA was recently tapped for the largest hotel project in Panama.  It also completed its first Saflok electronic door lock installation in Brazil, and began its third construction installation for Mayan Properties in Mexico.

“KABA is known internationally for its reliability and service, and our new web-based training, service and support modules are valuable additions our dealers and users can utilize anytime, anywhere," said Goran Necak, vice president of International Sales for KABA. “The Latin American hotel market is expanding rapidly and KABA’s combination of local professional support and installation services and online training are essential to every operator."
 
KABA recognizes hotels and their guests have high expectations of service, and that hotel operators view service as the key differentiator.  “With our Latin American expansion, KABA stands alone in its investment and dedication to localized service,” Necak said.
