Technology firm, Pestra Ltd, has expressed its readiness to advance technology development in Nigeria.
With specialisation in safety, security, and building technology systems in West Africa, the firm, at the Pestra Tech Day 2025 forum in Lagos, brought together system integrators, consultants, end users, and global technology partners for an engaging day of knowledge sharing and collaboration.
Themed “Securing the Present, Powering the Future”, this year’s edition saw the firm stress its commitment to advancing safety and building technologies through strategic partnerships and smart integration.
Attendees experienced live demonstrations, interactive sessions, and product showcases featuring the latest innovations shaping the region’s security and automation landscape.
A major highlight of the event was the announcement of two key milestones for Pestra. First, Honeywell officially appointed Pestra Ltd as its authorised distributor for Gent, Morley, and Notifier Fire Alarm products in West Africa, strengthening the availability of the products across the region. Second, Pestra celebrated the successful integration of Telecom Pneumatic Tube Systems into its expanding portfolio — marking a transformative step in automating material transport for healthcare and industrial facilities in West Africa.
Honeywell expressed confidence in Pestra’s strong technical capabilities and regional market expertise, noting that the partnership would drive greater adoption of UL and EN-certified fire alarm solutions while promoting customer education on safety compliance and system design.
Speaking during the event, Managing Director of Pestra Ltd, Paul Nwokolo, stated: “When we launched the very first Pestra Tech Day, it was fuelled by the desire to put Pestra on the global map, not just as a supplier of technical solutions but as a hub for technology, innovation, and collaboration. Today, in our third edition, that dream is no longer just an idea; it’s becoming a reality.
The addition of Honeywell Fire Alarm systems and Pneumatic Tube technology to our portfolio marks a defining moment for Pestra. Both represent our dedication to delivering world-class solutions that protect people, enhance efficiency, and redefine operational standards.”
