Allegion has continued its expansion with another acquisition: through one of its subsidiaries it has acquired Brisant Secure Limited (Brisant), a leading security hardware provider in the UK.
Founded in 2011 and based in Dewsbury, UK, Brisant sells a range of residential security solutions, including mechanical and electronic locks as well as door accessories. Its Ultion brand is known for premium high-security lock cylinders and key systems.
Brisant will report into the Allegion International segment, further strengthening Allegion’s presence in the region while complementing Allegion UK’s non-residential portfolio and its recent acquisition of UAP Limited.
“We are thrilled to welcome the Brisant team to Allegion, further strengthening our European portfolio with yet another leader and innovator in our industry,” said Tim Eckersley, Allegion senior vice president and president of Allegion International. “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 with this acquisition, supporting a smooth integration and helping advance Allegion’s regional business.
“Joining Allegion is an exciting evolution for Brisant and our customers,” Harvey said. “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.”
Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
