Allegion to Acquire Zero International to enter the Doors and Construction Market

Allegion plc, a global security pAllegionroducts and solutions provider, through Schlage Lock Company, has planned to acquire Zero International Inc.

Through this acquisition Allegion aims to tap the international doors and window product market for commercial spaces where Zero International is already a recognised brand.

Allegion senior vice president and president of the Americas, Tim Eckersley said that, Zero is a valuable addition to the business portfolio that will help Allegion drive greater differentiation and compete more effectively in the new construction and aftermarket space.

Zero’s product range include an array of premium sealing systems, such as sound control, fire and smoke protection, threshold applications, and lites and door louvers.

“Our team includes many talented specification writers for new construction projects, and we are particularly savvy in creating application-specific security solutions for institutional and commercial segments,” Eckersley said.

“With the high-quality and engineered product portfolio from Zero, we can expand our offering to include threshold and weather-stripping applications, bringing additional value to our customers. This will also allow us to leverage our impact in international markets where Zero already has a footprint.”

The new  Zero suite of products will allow Allegion to increase its emphasis on green building applications that support heating and cooling efficiency, as well as delivering the sound dampening and fire and smoke sealing solutions that commercial customers are seeking.

Zero president Elias Wexler said that the acquisition was a strategic one for both companies.

“I couldn’t be happier to add Zero’s product expertise to the Allegion portfolio,” Wexler said. “There is a natural synergy between our two companies. We align not only in creating innovative solutions, but also in offering significant value to our customers. Allegion was the only company that I would consider taking this step with. The opportunities for growth are multiplied by working together.”
