The company will reinforce our current offering within solutions for access control and will provide complementary growth opportunities.”
Christophe Sut, Executive Vice President and Head of Global Solutions at ASSA ABLOY, added: “Biosite offers leading biometric access and workforce management solutions to the construction sector; maximising security and safety whilst providing full visibility to material, design plans – and people flow on site. Combining hardware, software and services the company is a very good fit with ASSA ABLOY Global Solutions.
“I’m excited for the future and what we can achieve collaboratively with Biosite to support the digital transformation of the construction industry, both in the UK and globally,” says Samuel Asarnoj VP New Business & Head of the Construction Vertical in ASSA ABLOY Global Solutions.”
