Gunnebo Safe Storage is reinforcing its position in Europe by combining large-scale manufacturing with advanced locking technology across its full range of safe storage solutions.
With specialist sites now operating as a single platform, the company has created one of the most comprehensive secure storage operations on the continent, with recent integrations being central to its success.
The Markersdorf facility in Germany, one of Europe’s key manufacturing sites, adds significant capacity to Gunnebo’s ability to produce its entire portfolio of products within Europe. The Primat Group in Slovenia has introduced additional scale for safe production, while WITTKOPP in Germany contributes decades of expertise in high-security locking systems.
“By bringing Primat, WITTKOPP and our Markersdorf site into a unified platform, we have connected design, manufacturing and locking technology within Europe,” said Elisabeth Whitefield, Vice President Europe, Gunnebo Safe Storage. “This ensures our products meet certification standards, adapt to local market needs and remain available even when global supply chains are disrupted.”
Gunnebo’s European portfolio serves financial institutions, retailers and residential customers. Operating these areas under one organisation allows the company to act as a single point of reference for customers with diverse requirements.
Beyond reducing delivery times and ensuring compliance, local manufacturing provides the flexibility to tailor solutions to different markets while supporting more sustainable supply chains.
“Our customers expect more than a safe,” Elisabeth added. “They need smart, integrated solutions, backed by technical service capabilities they can rely on. Having all these capabilities in Europe means we can deliver with speed and reliability while keeping quality at the core.”
Locking systems are a core element of safe storage, and Gunnebo benefits from having two specialist brands. Tecnosicurezza strengthens the portfolio with electronic solutions, while WITTKOPP contributes long-standing expertise in high-security mechanical locks.
Elisabeth concluded: “By keeping research, development and production within Europe, Gunnebo Safe Storage can proactively anticipate and meet evolving demands. This focus strengthens our ability to adapt quickly and reinforces our position as a leading hub for safe storage solutions, serving institutional and residential markets with resilience and consistency.”
