“Ex-Sen - Europe” is the name of our “Network-group” for all those who worked at Sensormatic in Europe until the Tyco take-over in January 2001. With our Ex-Sen - Europe Group we offer the opportunity for all Ex-Sen friends to stay in touch and read about "old" colleagues friends and with interest to meet from time to time. During our Ex-Sen - Europe “meetings” we don’t just discuss the "good-old-days" but also exchange information share contacts and interests above all we just have a great time together. Please note that one can only become a member when employed by Sensormatic in Europe before January 2001 when Tyco took over Sensormatic. Although this is a European Group we do allow some exceptions for colleagues from Sensormatic USA who supported Europe on a day-to-day base. Although we have “only” 67 members on LinkedIn we have almost 200 names and e-mail addresses in our data-base! Kind regards - David Janssen
