Province opens Johannesburg branch

Province has opened a state-of-the-art showroom in Eastgate Ext 11, close to Sandton in Johannesburg. Launched in February, the Johan- nesburg outlet will focus on the commercial, industrial and retail sectors of the market and will enable Province to broaden its customer base and enhance its customer service, in response to increasing consumer demand throughout South Africa for the company’s products, solutions and services. At the launch of the premises, managing director Jurgen Chemelli said that the team had worked on numerous and diverse lighting projects and large scale developments and had serviced some of the biggest names in the industry. He emphasised that the company was dedicated to service and to providing the best possible solutions for its customers. The new showroom, which provides the latest in lighting and automa- tion technology, has a well equipped presentation room for face-to-face interaction.  The focus of the showroom is on light-emitting diode (LED) in its various applications, encapsulated in a specifically designed unit showing the different colours and intensities of LEDs, as well as profiles and ceiling/bulkhead details. In addition to lighting products, Province has an automation divi- sion, which offers a Building Management System that is simple and personalised and, most importantly, allows companies to maximise their energy savings. The Johannesburg showroom is fully automated and equipped with various interfaces so customers can view the energy management facilities on offer.  The automation parameters are: • DALI lighting control • Power consumption and energy management

• Remote log-in to external buildings • Monitoring and reporting on the above

• Alarm interaction • Audiovisual control

Province has been involved in the lighting and automation of many Green buildings across South Africa into the rest of Africa and the company has an outlet Windhoek in order to extend its footprint on the continent. Established in 1987 in Cape Town, Province is a leading supplier of specialised SABS-approved, commercial, industrial, retail and architectural lighting solutions.
