ELAN: celebrating 40 Years of Innovation while expanding its International Presence
2026 marks a significant milestone for ELAN Cavi e Batterie as the Italian company celebrates its 40th anniversary. Founded in 1986, ELAN has grown into a trusted manufacturer and supplier of cables and batteries for the security, fire detection, CCTV, networking sectors, combining Italian manufacturing expertise with an increasingly international outlook.
Over the past four decades, ELAN has built its reputation on quality, reliability and continuous innovation. Today, the company offers a comprehensive portfolio of solutions, including security and fire-resistant cables, structured cabling systems, copper and networking products, as well as AGM and lithium batteries under its BIGBAT brand. Designed to meet the highest international standards, ELAN’s products are distributed in more than 50 countries, supporting installers, system integrators and distributors worldwide.
While celebrating its history, the company is equally focused on the future. International markets have become a strategic pillar of ELAN’s growth, making participation in leading industry exhibitions an essential opportunity to strengthen relationships with partners, showcase new solutions and gain valuable insights into evolving market trends.
ELAN’s 2026 Autumn Event Journey
The autumn exhibition season will therefore play a key role in the company’s international activities.
Security Essen
From 22 to 25 September, ELAN will exhibit at Security Essen 2026, one of Europe’s most established trade fairs for the security industry. Visitors will find the company in Hall 7, Stand 7A34, where ELAN will present its latest cable and battery solutions for intrusion detection, fire protection, video surveillance and integrated security systems. Security Essen continues to attract manufacturers, distributors, installers and technology providers from around the world, making it an ideal platform to exchange ideas and explore new business opportunities.
Adria Security Summit
Just a few weeks later, on 7–8 October, ELAN will participate in the Adria Security Summit in Zagreb, Croatia, one of Southeast Europe’s fastest-growing security and smart technology events. The Summit is expected to welcome more than 160 exhibitors and around 3,000 industry professionals from over 50 countries, bringing together manufacturers, distributors, system integrators and end users from across the region. ELAN will be present at Stand 39, further reinforcing its commitment to the Balkan and Southeast European markets, which continue to offer significant opportunities for growth and collaboration.
ELAN’s commitment
“Trade fairs are much more than exhibition spaces – says Cristina Andreoni, CEO of ELAN. – They are opportunities to meet customers and partners face to face, understand market evolution, exchange ideas and create new collaborations. For a company celebrating forty years of activity while continuing to invest in innovation and international development, these events are an essential part of our growth strategy”.
As ELAN looks beyond its 40th anniversary, the company’s commitment remains unchanged: delivering reliable, high-quality solutions while strengthening its presence in international markets through innovation, technical expertise and long-term partnerships.
