International. UTC Climate, Controls & Security has completed its acquisition of S2 Security, which will be combined with Lenel, to create LenelS2, which aims to rise as a global leader in advanced access control systems and services.
Through the collective strengths of both companies, LenelS2 will provide scalable, cutting-edge customer solutions in the access control and security management systems industry, serving global enterprises for small and medium-sized businesses. The business is part of UTC Climate, Controls & Security, a leading provider of fire safety, security, building automation, heating, ventilation, air conditioning (HVAC) and refrigeration systems, a unit of United Technologies Corp.
"LenelS2 unites two world-class teams with complementary strengths," said Alex Housten, VP and GM, Fire & Security Products, UTC Climate, Controls & Security. "Together, we have more than 50,000 systems installed around the world. We look forward to providing enhanced capabilities and service offerings for our customers, and accelerating our access control and video-centric solutions for smart buildings around the world."
Lenel President Jeff Stanek will lead the new organization and S2 Security founder and CEO John Moss will serve as chief product officer. The broader leadership team will be made up of key members from each company, ensuring that the combined company will bring together the best of both worlds to serve its customers.
"These are two leading brands that share a strong culture of innovation and commitment to customer service," said Stanek. "Together, we will harness the power of our talented workforce to better serve customers' needs and offer them more choice."
"The depth of Lenel's OnGuard platform and BlueDiamond mobile credentialing coupled with the breadth of S2's ecosystem and product channel, creates a new offering that is far greater than the sum of its parts," added Moss. "We will continue to advance the capabilities of all product lines, including NetBox and OnGuard."
