The spotlight is sharply focused on the issue of facility security as ASSA ABLOY, the provider of access solutions, showcases its latest innovations for comprehensive door security and access control at the Global Security Exchange (GSX) 2022.
Featuring the theme of “Creating Access for the Future,” ASSA ABLOY elevates the discussion of facility security with its broad line of solutions designed to provide greater access, strong security and peace of mind for building owners, facility managers and occupants.
Authority comment
“The tragedy in Uvalde, Texas last spring once again directed full attention on facility security and what schools, healthcare, government and corporate facilities need to do to protect their occupants and rightfully so,” says Angelo Faenza, Head of Digital Access Solutions at ASSA ABLOY Opening Solutions Americas.
“We can’t control the issue of gun violence or emergency responsiveness, however, we can help facility owners better prepare.”
