Dormakaba North America is set to make a significant impact at ISC West 2026, the International Security Conference and Exposition in Las Vegas (March 23 – 27). After a year marked by strategic acquisitions and substantial technology investments, the company is poised to showcase an expanded access control portfolio designed to meet the evolving demands of high-stakes environments like healthcare, airports, and data centers.

Our investments are precisely targeted to help customers strike a balance between robust security, seamless convenience, and essential scalability. At ISC West, we’re demonstrating how our technological prowess and delivery capabilities converge to enhance both our customers’ and our own operational efficiency.”
