Allegion

Allegion is a global security company specialising in products and systems around the doorway and beyond, spanning mechanical locks and door closers, biometric scanning devices, access control systems and integrated security solutions. The company generates annual revenue of $3.8 billion and employs more than 13,000 people. It sells through more than 30 brands into 120 countries, supported by a network of over 15,000 channel partners worldwide.

The scale of that operation is matched by a substantial intangible asset base. Allegion holds more than 1,000 active patents, and describes a corporate heritage of over 250 years, drawn in part from brands that invented their respective product categories. Growth is pursued in part through strategic acquisitions, adding further breadth to a portfolio that already covers mechanical locking systems, door hardware, biometrics and electronic access control.

Allegion's products are sold into regulated and sensitive environments, including schools and education, healthcare, commercial and business facilities, and residential markets. The company states a focus on engineering excellence and on simple, reliable and effective solutions, with a stated mission around safety, security and peace of mind.
