Where's Panasonic? Now Call It i-PRO

By: John Honovich, Published on Jun 29, 2020

A year after Panasonic spun out its security systems business, the new company is now leading with "i-PRO", de-emphasizing the Panasonic brand, as the company's now main marketing video shows:

However, the company tells IPVM it is 'not dropping the Panasonic name' while it is now leading with the once product brand (i.e., i-PRO):

** *** *** ******** the ********* ****, ** Panasonic ***** *** * vested ******** ** **********-***** *******, *** ********* is ********* ******* ***** on *** ********* **** page. ** ** **** to ********* “*-***” ** ** *** a *** ****** ******* setting *** *** ***** strategy *** *********.
