Gunnebo Safe Storage is consolidating its European operations, bringing design, manufacturing and advanced locking technology together under a single platform. This strategic integration positions the company as one of the most comprehensive safe storage providers in Europe.
At the core of this expansion are three key sites: the Markersdorf facility in Germany, now a major manufacturing hub; the Primat Group in Slovenia, adding production scale; and WITTKOPP, also in Germany, contributing 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,” explained Elisabeth Whitefield, Vice President Europe at 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.”
The company’s European network supports financial institutions, retailers and residential users, operating as a single, coordinated organisation. This approach not only shortens delivery times but also enables tailored solutions that meet local requirements and promote more sustainable production.
“Our customers expect more than a safe,” Elisabeth added. “They need smart, integrated solutions, backed by reliable technical service. Having these capabilities within Europe allows us to deliver with speed and consistency, without compromising on quality.”
With Tecnosicurezza providing electronic locking systems and WITTKOPP contributing mechanical lock expertise, Gunnebo maintains full control over its security ecosystem. “Keeping research, development and production in Europe allows us to anticipate change and respond quickly,” Elisabeth concluded. “It reinforces our role as a leading hub for secure storage solutions, serving both institutional and residential markets with resilience and innovation.”
