negg® has experienced a strong growth over recent years. Founded in 2014, it has very quickly emerged as a leader in information security and ICT engineering fields. In the modern world, which is highly competitive, negg® was able to successfully stand out from all the others for the high standards of products and safety applied strategies.

In a short time, the Company has developed a sophisticated surveillance system which has been considered the most advanced on the market. This exponential growth has been possible, firstly thanks to the observation of the highest possible standards and secondly because of the excellent administrative strategy and continuous investment undertaken by the CEO Francesco Taccone, who immediately aimed at creating innovation, customers’ satisfaction and quality.
