Mitobi Security celebrated the grand opening of its second location in the Pembina Valley last week.
Owner Michael Ikhuoria and his family cut the ribbon on their new space at 325 Roblin Blvd. East in Winkler (above Ideal Floors). The company also has offices in Winnipeg and in Morden (459 Stephen St.), which they opened about a year and a half ago.
“I wanted to expand to Winkler because we want to reach more people,” Ikhuoria shared, noting the Winkler location opened earlier this year to good response.
Mitobi offers a range of security solutions, including CCTV and access control systems, alarm and biometric security, asset tracking and key management, smart software deployment, and AI-powered security consulting. They also sell a variety of LED signage, ICT devices, and home automation products.
Ikhuoria has decades of experience in the industry, and he’s passionate about using cutting-edge technology to meet his clients’ needs.
“IT solutions and electronic security is what we’ve been doing for the past 25 years,” he said, sharing his family moved to Canada with the intent of starting this business. They’re grateful to the clients they’ve gained over the past few years across the region and are eager to broaden their reach.
“We do a lot of stuff and we do everything to make our clients happy,” Ikhuoria said. “We go the extra mile for our clients and also we are dependable tech partners. Anything you want on tech, we can always get it sorted out for you.”
Winkler Mayor Henry Siemens was on hand for the celebration and thanked Ikhuoria for investing in the community.
“I’ve seen what you’ve done in Morden, as you’ve grown there, and I was very encouraged when you made the decision to also come here. I think that is tremendous for our community,” he said. “The services you offer are unique and are valuable.”
Being an entrepreneur is by no means easy, Siemens reflected, but it can pay off in spades.
“When you start, when you really step into it and you do all the hard work that you need to do to get to that next level, it makes it so much more rewarding, and that reward is there. If you do that work and if you continue to serve, the reward is there, the uptake is there, and you will succeed.”
