At ASSA ABLOY Middle East, we believe that smarter access control can drive sustainability. Our new Middle East headquarters, in Dubai, UAE, demonstrates how integrated access solutions and sustainable building technologies can transform both security and environmental performance.

Challenges:

• Secure both office and manufacturing environments.
• Integrate digital, electromechanical, and mechanical access solutions into one scalable platform.
• Support third-party devices for flexibility.
• Deliver measurable sustainability performance through Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) and renewable energy adoption.

Solutions:
