Nice

The cultures, languages and heritage of South Africa are diverse and dynamic. The ideology Nice is to create relevant solutions for our customers, blending the best global technology with a detailed understanding of the local environment. In support of our ideology, Nice identified and invested in a proudly South African company in 2015 - ET Systems, who had a proven track record as leaders in a very competitive industry. As designing our world-class products for South Africa & Africa was a Nice priority, we continued to intensely research the unique needs of local installers and consumers, the challenges of the environment and the expectations of the market. Today, the outcome of this process is proudly presented in the most comprehensive and extensive Nice offering, directly created for markets on the African continent and beyond.

1993

Lauro Buoro founded Nice, creating remote controls and accessories for the automation of gates and garage doors, proposing to the Home Automation sector a new way to produce and communicate. In the early 90’s the market for industrial goods was characterised by a rather elementary offer, presenting products through anonymous communication, concentrating exclusively on functional characteristics (still very basic).
The Nice business idea proposed integrated automated systems, created not to be cumbersome, but easy to use and quick to install, functional, friendly for both the implant project designer, the installer and the final user.

1995

Nice increased its offer, putting the electronic and electromechanical products side by side to offer the market complete automated solutions for gates and garage doors.

2000

Nice expanded its range by the takeover of a company producing automation systems for awnings, rolling shutters and solar screens, becoming in this way one of the few companies in the world able to offer a complete range of integrated automation systems for any kind of residential and industrial building, controlled by only one transmitter.
