Acquisitions
ASSA ABLOY has completed almost 400 acquisitions since the Group was formed in 1994, and has a target of 5 percent acquired growth over a business cycle.
The strategic rationale for each acquisition falls into one of four areas with well-defined investment criteria:
Grow the core
To expand geographically or access an installed base in an existing market.
Extend the core
By finding suitable adjacent businesses or increasing our offering to maximize customer relevance.
Access new technologies
To complement our offering and open doors to new end-market verticals and segments.
Grow our service and distribution offering
To obtain direct channel and aftermarket presence.
