ASSA, part of ASSA ABLOY Security Solutions, a UK division of ASSA ABLOY, reports the latest on its Future Lab.
That’s studying the trends that influence security, to predict the future of the industry. By working with end-users, distributors and ASSA ABLOY divisions, the Future Lab aims to help the Group’s product development process to meet changing market demand.
ASSA ABLOY says that it has globally increased its R&D investment by 130pc and grown the number of product design engineers to 1400, since 2005. This has led to the development of electromechanical products such as ASSA’s CLIQ Remote product, which combines locksmithing with modern information technology.
Sales of ASSA ABLOY’s electromechanical products have increased from 20pc to 49pc of Group sales since 2000, the multi-national adds.
Richard Bromley, Business Development Director at ASSA ABLOY UK, said: “Innovation is key for any business to ensure it stays ahead of the competition. Now, more than ever, it is critical to offer products designed for the future that excite customers as well as adding value.
“Within the security industry, innovation is no longer just about technological invention, but also about harnessing invention to improve business processes and outcomes. That’s why at ASSA ABLOY Security Solutions we have recently invested in our electromechanical team to help our customers make the most of ground-breaking products such as ASSA’s CLIQ Remote system.”
