It started in 1974 when VingCard, the world first recordable keycard door lock was invented. It quickly became the global leader in room security for the hospitality industry.

Later in 1994, Elsafe, the world first electronic in-room safe joined forces in order to better serve their customers and grow the company.

As the company grew from strength to strength, the brand ASSA ABLOY Global Solutions was developed. Its purpose is to extend global reach and innovation capability beyond hardware. This will enable the company to differentiate themselves, transcend the competition and be known as the leading hospitality security brand in the world.

The goal for the future is to innovate in order to serve clients and to fulfil the needs of the growing number of people who travel.
