The companies Chubb Locks Custodial Services (CLCS), Intelligent Locking Systems (ILS) and Pickersgill-Kaye (Kaye) have formed as the High Security & Safety group, a new division of Assa Abloy Opening Solutions UK & Ireland.
Covering the security and rail industries, CLCS, ILS and Kaye each offer their own sector specialisms, the parent company Assa Abloy says. The firm says Assa Abloy Opening Solutions UK & Ireland will provide a more comprehensive offering to sectors. CLCS is a supplier of locks to custodial, secure healthcare, government and secure education.
