Latin America. Assa Abloy announced the acquisition of Olimpia Hardware, a brand of glass hardware and accessories in Latin America and the Caribbean.
"I am very pleased to welcome Olimpia to the Assa Abloy Group. This is an important next step in our strategy to increase leadership in emerging markets," said Nico Delvaux, President and CEO of Assa Abloy.
"The addition of Olimpia complements our business in Latin America, further supporting the growing trend of openings using glass and aluminum products," says Lucas Boselli, executive vice president of Assa Abloy and head of the Americas Division.
