Financial Highlights
ASSA ABLOY's financial report highlighted various key metrics that underscore the firm’s operational strength:
- - Net Sales: SEK 38,015 M (Q2 2024: SEK 37,968 M)

Segment Performance
Within the various segments, different performance levels were observed:
- - Global Technologies experienced healthy organic growth of 8% driven by strong sales in HID and Global Solutions.
- - Americas reported a good growth figure, noted especially in the Non-Residential segment, which exhibited high single-digit sales growth.
- - In contrast, Entrance Systems showed marginal growth of just 1%, while the EMEIA and Asia Pacific regions faced challenges with organic changes declining by 1% in both.
This divergence underscores the varying market conditions across geographical segments, pushing management to adapt strategies and resources accordingly.
Strategic Moves and Acquisitions
During this quarter, ASSA ABLOY completed five acquisitions, significantly expanding its market footprint. Among these acquisitions was TeleAlarm, a European innovator in integrated remote care technology, enhancing ASSA ABLOY's position in the Senior Care sector—a segment projected to grow with increasing demand for smart and connected living solutions.
The quarter's successful acquisitions are part of the company's broader ambition to solidify its presence in critical verticals. The new integrations contributed approximately SEK 800 M to the firm’s annual sales, strengthening its operational capabilities and customer offerings across sectors.
Future Outlook
Nico Delvaux, ASSA ABLOY's President and CEO, expressed pride in the operational execution throughout the quarter. He emphasized the importance of maintaining agility and responding to market specifics through a decentralized organizational structure. This strategy allows for quick resource reallocation in response to varying market demands, especially in segments relating to electromechanical upgrades, where sales saw growth of 12% after adjustments for currency.
Despite persistent macroeconomic uncertainties—including tariff challenges and mixed global market conditions—ASSA ABLOY remains poised for further growth, focusing on innovation and client demand. The company is actively investing in new technologies and strengthening its sales force to navigate the changing landscape effectively.
In conclusion, ASSA ABLOY's solid performance in Q2 2025 not only illustrates growth but also demonstrates resilience and strategic foresight in a demanding market environment. Stakeholders look forward to seeing how the company capitalizes on its strengths and navigates upcoming challenges.
