EXPEREO TO DELIVER FULLY MANAGED CONNECTIVITY SOLUTION FOR KINGSPAN INSULATION

KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 23 (Bernama) -- Expereo, a managed Network as a Service (NaaS) provider, has been selected by Kingspan Insulation to deliver a fully managed connectivity solution across its global operations.

Expereo’s solution enables Kingspan Insulation to consolidate its complex network of disparate Internet Service Providers (ISPs) into a single, centralised, fully managed solution, enhancing visibility, compliance, and operational agility.

“Global enterprises often struggle with fragmented networks that slow growth and increase risk. Our managed services and expereoOne platform provide the visibility, control, and agility Kingspan Insulation needs to support growth and innovation while reducing complexity and risk.

“With a single source of truth for all sites, services, and billing, Kingspan Insulation can scale confidently, stay compliant, and empower its team to focus on innovation and expansion,” said Expereo Chief Executive Officer, Ben Elms in a statement.

Kingspan Insulation manages a complex Wide Area Network (WAN) environment with 90 sites across multiple vendors, spanning 28 countries. This scale presents significant challenges in connectivity, compliance, and security, especially as the business shifts away from Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) and increasingly embraces Software as a Service (SaaS) and cloud-based services.

Expereo’s scope includes the design, implementation, and management of the network through expereoOne, its NaaS platform, offering Kingspan a single global view of all services. The solution covers both current and future sites under one contract, providing regional support and enabling rapid scaling during acquisitions or operational changes.

Through expereoOne, Kingspan gains full visibility and control over its network—from ordering and billing to ticketing and auditing. The platform also delivers real-time performance insights and utilisation reporting, allowing the company to optimise resources, maintain security, and streamline operational processes.

Expereo now manages Kingspan Insulation’s underlay and overlay services, including SD-WAN, Dedicated Internet Access (DIA), and broadband, with Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite connectivity under consideration for future rapid deployments. The solution allows remote SD-WAN setups to be completed in less than 30 minutes, offering flexibility for urgent business needs without compromising performance.

The partnership follows a similar selection by Kingspan Light, Air + Water, the global provider of smoke control, fire safety, daylighting, ventilation, water management, and storage solutions, which also chose Expereo to deliver a fully managed connectivity solution for its worldwide operations.
