“If we’re to remain innovative and competitive, we must keep pace with the demand from our customers for flawless experiences,” says Tim Shea, president of ASSA ABLOY Hospitality. “As our brand transitions to ASSA ABLOY, we will grow stronger and create a bright future for our company and customers. We will build on our legacy, continuing to make people around the world feel safe and secure.”
VingCard Elsafe has served the hotel security technology market for over 40 years. Their story began in 1974, when lock engineer Tor Sørnes heard that an intruder had attacked his favourite singer in her hotel room. He resolved to find a solution and invented VingCard.
Today, as the world rapidly changes and technology continues to evolve, the ASSA ABLOY family offers the company access to more than 1,400 engineers, working together to innovate, improve quality and add more products to their portfolio of solutions. A worldwide network of sales and support teams will enable the company to be more responsive to their hospitality partners.
“Our company has evolved over the years, but who we are remains the same,” continued Shea. “Our purpose is not simply to lock and unlock more doors—it is to unlock the feeling of safety, security and belonging for more people, wherever they go.
ASSA ABLOY Hospitality is part of ASSA ABLOY’s Global Technologies division.
