Assa Abloy is the world's leading manufacturer and supplier of locking solutions, meeting tough end-user demands for safety, security and user friendliness. The Group has some 30,000 employees and annual sales of about 3 billion Euro.

The Assa Abloy Group originated in the Nordic region in 1994, with the spin off of Assa AB from the Swedish security company Securitas and the acquisition shortly thereafter of the Finnish lock company Abloy. Since then the Group has expanded by a combination of organic growth and further acquisitions.
