Another week, another acquisition…
It seems that barely a week goes by without a major industry acquisition…and this time it’s the turn of hardware provider, Brisant Secure, which has been bought by Allegion.
Allegion is a leading global security products and solutions provider, and acquired Brisant for an undisclosed sum through one of its subsidiaries.
This latest deal follows hot on the heels of Allegion’s acquisition of UAP Group Limited, the Manchester based hardware specialist, which was announced earlier this month.
Like UAP, Brisant will now report into the Allegion International segment.
Tim Eckersley, Allegion senior vice president and president of Allegion International, said: “We are thrilled to welcome the Brisant team to Allegion, further strengthening our European portfolio with yet another leader and innovator in our industry.
“Brisant’s premium, patented solutions are a natural complement to Allegion UK’s best-in-class product and service capabilities.”
Kevin Harvey, managing director of Brisant, will join Allegion and commented: “Joining Allegion is an exciting evolution for Brisant and our customers.
“Not only are we expanding our strategic partnerships and scale, but we’re now part of a global leader in our space that’s known for innovating to make the world safer while also driving strategic growth.”
