Gunnebo Entrance Control is expanding its reach in Northern Europe with the acquisition of Special Montering, a Danish firm specializing in access control installation and maintenance. The move is set to boost Gunnebo’s local service capabilities and strengthen its regional operations.

Local Expertise Meets Global Reach

Special Montering, established in 2009 and based in Aarhus with a branch in Copenhagen, has made a name for itself delivering locks, door automation, and access management solutions. Its clientele spans commercial offices, public buildings, industrial sites, and infrastructure projects.

Gunnebo has assured Special Montering’s customers of uninterrupted service and a smooth integration process. The combined expertise promises to support ongoing projects and address the increasing demand for advanced entrance security solutions in Denmark, offering more responsive service and customized technical support.
