MLA EXPO
25 REVIEW
ALL BRANDS UNITED IN ONE PLACE
|
» GIVING NEW MEANING TO the term‘ umbrella stand’ ASSA ABLOY’ s impressive corner plot combined not only several brands, but the multifaceted nature of the business and the industry.
Combining mechanical, electronic and smart solutions, for domestic and commercial applications, this stand was arguably one of the most varied and comprehensive offerings at the Expo. Luckily, we had the chance to talk to Siobhan Kirwan-Lee, Head of Marketing, ASSA ABLOY Commercial Group, to shed some light on what was on display …
“ We all bring our strengths to the sector, and we’ ve all brought our strengths to the stand. Visitors ware able to

see and touch something for every corner of the industry, and talk to the team behind the products, all in one place!
“ That’ s why shows like this are so important – it gets everyone together. Not just the visitors but the exhibitors too. We see the MLA Expo as a premium event for locksmiths.
“ But while we have several brands here this weekend, with plenty of square footage, we have so many more products and brands under the ASSA ABLOY umbrella, covering many different sectors too. This means it can be difficult to know what to bring, and we’ ve taken the time to make sure there’ s the right blend of mechanical solutions, such as padlocks, lockcases, cylinders, master key systems. Access control solutions across electronic, digital and smart ware. Newly launched products and some‘ old faithfuls’.”
How was the show?
The MLA Expo was a great success for ASSA ABLOY, providing us with the
opportunity to showcase all four brands together. It allowed locksmiths to see firsthand the wide range of solutions we offer and provided an excellent opportunity to connect and engage with them face-toface.

KASP KEEPING YOUR BELONGINGS SAFE THIS WINTER
» AS THE WINTER MONTHS ROLL ON, cases of theft and burglary become a growing concern. Last October, police data indicated a 13 % increase in thefts reported from tradespeople’ s vans, as compared to the previous month. Even outside of the trades, the average garden shed contains around
£ 2000 of equipment- without proper precautions, this is an obvious target for thieves.
Whether it’ s an electrician’ s toolkit, an industrial site, or even a parked bike – security should be a top priority. Kasp offers a whole suite of security products, from robust padlocks to
combination key safes. With Kasp’ s unique security rating system, it’ s easy to find the perfect lock to suit your use case.
