ASSA ABLOY’s stand at IFSEC 2018 showed ways to ‘access smarter thinking’. The company’s brands including ASSA ABLOY Access Control, Abloy and Traka, were on display, covering access control, identification technology, entrance automation and integrated security; for commercial, education, critical infrastructure, SMEs and multi-use, emergency services and defence.
Nico Delvaux, ASSA ABLOY’s new President and CEO, made an appearance and witnessed the company’s doorsets put to the test in the BRE’s dedicated Attack Zone, showing the difference between certified and non-approved products.
Gareth Ellams, Access Control Managing Director said: “With a constant stream of visitors to our stand, we could not be happier with how this year’s IFSEC went. Footfall was up from previous years and we managed to speak to many end users in the key markets we offer solutions for.
“The event provided a fantastic platform to showcase our innovative, technology-driven solutions and the key markets these serve. For example, those in the education sector were able to see how our Aperio wireless locking technology can help schools and universities cut energy costs, reduce time and money spent on maintenance, and help deliver a flexible access control solution that can be adapted and updated when needed.
“Meanwhile, those operating in critical infrastructure environments could see how our cloud-based, programmable locking technology can easily integrate with an organisation’s telemetry systems, to help improve efficiencies and protect the nation’s infrastructure.
“Meeting the specific needs of some of the most demanding environments, our exhibition stand provided a fantastic platform for us to share the very latest security solutions that can protect against even the most challenging threats.”
