Gunnebo Entrance Control is strengthening its North American presence with the opening of a new manufacturing facility in Duncan, South Carolina. This facility more than doubles the company’s production capacity and reinforces its commitment to localised manufacturing, aiming to enhance customer-focused solutions and support growth in the region.
The Duncan site is a key part of Gunnebo’s strategy to bring manufacturing closer to the markets it serves. By reducing lead times and improving supply chain efficiency, the new facility is designed to help Gunnebo deliver cost-effective, high-quality solutions that address the needs of its North American customers.
“As we continue to grow in North America, expanding our manufacturing capabilities locally is an important step,” says Mike Slauson, Vice President of Gunnebo Entrance Control North America. “The new facility in Duncan allows us to scale production while improving delivery speed and optimising efficiencies for our customers.”
Throughout 2025, Gunnebo plans to expand its U.S. manufacturing capabilities to include Security Doors, Full-Height Turnstiles, and Retail Gates. This approach is intended to strengthen supply chain resilience and support the company’s mission to provide tailored solutions that meet the specific needs of the North American market.
The investment in U.S. production demonstrates Gunnebo’s focus on innovation, efficiency, and customer satisfaction. Manufacturing key product lines domestically helps the company respond more effectively to market demands, supporting reliability and responsiveness.
“The opening of the Duncan facility aligns with our long-term strategy to support growth across North America and beyond,” adds Slauson. “We remain committed to delivering advanced entrance control solutions that enhance security, efficiency, and accessibility for our customers.”
Gunnebo’s investment in the U.S. reflects an ongoing commitment to developing solutions that address market requirements while focusing on local production. By bringing manufacturing closer to its customers, the company aims to build a solid foundation for future growth and service excellence.
