Gunnebo Entrance Control acquires Special Montering

Founded in 2009 in Aarhus with a new branch in Copenhagen, Special Montering is known for delivering locks, door automation and access management solutions across sectors including commercial offices, public buildings, industrial sites and infrastructure projects.

Gunnebo Entrance Control, itself a global provider of speed gates, turnstiles and perimeter control systems, feels the acquisition supports its strategy of strengthening regional operations and enhancing local customer service.

Special Montering’s owner Thomas Withen explained: “This is a positive development for both our team and our customers. We have always focused on quality installation and reliable support. Becoming part of Gunnebo Entrance Control allows us to build on that solid foundation. It also affords us access to a wider network of knowledge and technology, supporting entrance control projects right across Denmark.”

Business continuity

Gunnebo has pledged business continuity for Special Montering customers and a smooth integration of operations. The combined expertise will support ongoing projects and meet the growing demand for advanced entrance security in Denmark, offering more responsive service and tailored technical support.

Blanca Sebastia, general manager for Europe at Gunnebo Entrance Control, informed Security Matters: “Special Montering has built a reputation for technical excellence and trusted service in Aarhus and now Copenhagen. By joining forces, we’re combining this strong local foundation with Gunnebo’s global portfolio and innovation in entrance control. This strengthens our ability to deliver tailored solutions closer to our customers and reflects our commitment to strategic growth in Northern Europe.”

Special Montering will continue operating from its Aarhus and Copenhagen bases, maintaining customer relationships, while also benefiting from Gunnebo’s wider resources and product range.
