ASSA ABLOY Global Solutions announces that their critical infrastructure offerings will adapt ALCEA as its main brand. French-based ALCEA SAS has roots in the security solutions industry dating back to 1995 and was acquired by ASSA ABLOY Global Solutions in 2022. The introduction of the renewed brand marks the beginning of a journey to position ALCEA as a provider of total security solutions for critical infrastructure worldwide. By integrating products, solutions, and services from ASSA ABLOY, ALCEA, ABLOY, and third-party companies, ALCEA is set to enhance ASSA ABLOY Global Solutions’ position as a unique solution provider and trusted partner to several strategically important industries globally.
“When critical infrastructure such as energy, water, telecom, or transportation is interrupted, societies can't thrive. ALCEA exists to protect critical infrastructure globally and ensure businesses and people can continue to feel safe and operate uninterrupted”, says Stephanie Ordan, Executive Vice President and Head of ASSA ABLOY Global Solutions.
Placing ALCEA as the main brand for critical infrastructure offerings creates a more focused messaging with a clear identity. The brand will continue to uphold and expand service levels for customers, with an increased focus on customized security solutions.
“Our critical infrastructure offering has traditionally consisted of solutions provided by ABLOY. As part of this shift, we're incorporating ABLOY solutions under the ALCEA brand, which will further strengthen our position and allow us to deliver an even broader range of high-quality services to our customers", says Stephanie Ordan.
ALCEA's sector specialists leverage their in-depth knowledge by providing customizable solutions and products to sectors such as water, energy, telecom, transportation, mining, oil, and gas. The offering comprises digitally optimized security solutions, including access control, intrusion detection, visitor, key, and video management. These solutions, customizable to serve as a total security package or as part of an existing setup, are designed to enhance both security and operational efficiency.
“As we move towards a future where nearly 7 out of 10 people will live in cities by 2050 and digitalization becomes pervasive, the standards for critical infrastructure protection are rising. In a rapidly expanding market, currently valued at over $136 billion, the demand for innovative solutions is greater than ever. That’s why we need to be at the forefront of delivering safe solutions for tomorrow’s needs, something we will continue doing under the brand name ALCEA.”, says Jorma Issakainen, Senior Vice President and Head of Critical Infrastructure, ASSA ABLOY Global Solutions.
