Allegion, a leader in the security products and solutions industry, has recently expanded its portfolio through the acquisition of Brisant Secure Limited (Brisant), a prominent player in the UK’s security hardware market. This acquisition was made possible through one of Allegion’s subsidiaries, signaling a strategic move to strengthen its foothold in the region.
Founded in 2011 and headquartered in Dewsbury, UK, Brisant has built a reputation for delivering a diverse range of innovative residential security solutions. Its offerings include both mechanical and electronic locks as well as door accessories, all designed to enhance home safety and convenience. Notably, Brisant’s Ultion brand is celebrated for its top-tier high-security lock cylinders and key systems, which have garnered significant consumer trust for their reliability and performance.
With this acquisition, Brisant will operate under the Allegion International segment, a development that not only enhances Allegion’s market presence but also complements its existing non-residential portfolio in the UK. This move aligns seamlessly with Allegion’s recent acquisition of UAP Limited, further broadening its capabilities in the security sector.
In a key leadership role, Kevin Harvey, Managing Director of Brisant, will join Allegion. He is expected to play a vital role in facilitating a smooth integration process and driving the growth of Allegion’s operations in the region.
Details regarding the financial terms of the transaction have not been publicly disclosed, leaving some aspects of this strategic acquisition undisclosed.
