Zenitel, Oslo, Norway, a global leader and supplier of the VINGTOR® and STENTOFON® brands of communication systems, announced the unity of these two brands into one — VINGTOR-STENTOFON®. The two separate product brands were acquired by the Zenitel Group in 2001 with both having a rich history dating back to 1946. According to Kenneth Dastol, CEO Zenitel Group, the merging of the two will not affect Zenitel’s legal structure but will allow the Zenitel name to become less visible while the two well-known brands are presented on a consistently more prominent basis.
Ingersoll-Rand's board of directors unanimously approved a plan to spin off its commercial and residential security products businesses, which will be combined to form a new global company.
