Gunnebo Entrance Control is making a bold move in North America, planting roots with a brand-new manufacturing hub in Duncan, South Carolina. This expansion isn’t just about size; it’s a strategic play to more than double production capacity and double down on the company’s promise of localized manufacturing and customer-first solutions.
This new facility is a major leap in Gunnebo’s growth plan, designed to supercharge service for North American clients with quicker production and a streamlined supply chain.
By bringing key manufacturing operations closer to home, Gunnebo Entrance Control is boosting its ability to deliver top-notch, cost-effective solutions with lightning-fast turnaround times.
“As we gain momentum in North America, growing our manufacturing footprint locally is essential,” says Mike Slauson, VP BU Entrance Control North America at Gunnebo Entrance Control. “The Duncan facility allows us to ramp up production, accelerate delivery, and fine-tune efficiencies for our customers.”
More to Come in 2025
Looking ahead to 2025, the company plans to expand its manufacturing capabilities to include Security Doors, Full-Height Turnstiles, and Retail Gates right here in the U.S. This strategic move fortifies supply chain resilience and supports the company’s mission to provide tailored solutions that meet the specific needs of the North American market.
This investment in U.S. production underscores Gunnebo Entrance Control’s dedication to innovation, efficiency, and customer satisfaction. By manufacturing key product lines domestically, the company is improving its ability to meet market demands with greater responsiveness and reliability.
“The opening of the Duncan facility is a pivotal step in our long-term strategy to support growth across North America and beyond,” Slauson added. “We remain committed to delivering advanced entrance control solutions that enhance security, efficiency, and accessibility for our customers.”
