Gunnebo Security Oy - new company on the Finnish market

Gunnebo Security Oy - new company on the Finnish market Gunnebo Physical Security has set up a new company in Finland - Gunnebo Security Oy - to handle the sale and service of high-graded fire- and burglar-resistant safes and security products for cash handling and transport in the banking and retail sectors. Gunnebo Physical Security has in the past handled its sales activities in Finland through agents and distributors. However, it recently concentrated all its business within Gunnebo Security Oy, which has six employees. Before this, Gunnebo Physical Security's presence on the Finnish market was rather limited. "We see the formation of a sales company in Finland as a key development, as this is a strategically important market for us," says Torbjörn Browall, Head of the Gunnebo Physical Security division and first Executive Vice President, Gunnebo AB. Finland is part of the Nordic market, and our objectives include establishing Gunnebo in a leading market position on the Finnish market as well. The company's sales activities will be focused on developing the market for safes and launching Gunnebo's banking automation products and cash handling systems for the retail trade.
