Securing airports

More than three billion people passed through the world’s airports last year, a huge community with very specific security needs, and a market segment that the ASSA ABLOY Group has in its sights.

Airports are both working environments and public areas with open access – so advanced functions and procedures are required to ensure people’s safety, security and convenience. The ASSA ABLOY Group can offer the Airports innovative security solutions.

Several of ASSA ABLOY‘s Group companies have worked with airports, experience that sets a valuable platform from which to develop a complete offering to the market.

Within ASSA ABLOY‘s product range, most of the elements are ideal for the needs of airports – Access Control and Smart ID, Door Automatics, Iron fittings, Electro mechanics, Evacuation solutions, and so on.

Klaus Germer, Business Development Airports, says ASSA ABLOY will use the Group’s strength, flexibility and marketing power to reach customers. “Airports are sophisticated customers and want sophisticated partners. We have an opportunity to show we’re on their level."
