Abloy believes the future of locking and access control is a combination of digital communications and precision mechanical products. For several years the company has invested in developing Cliq technology to deliver the best range of solutions to meet the increasingly complex and demanding requirements of the market.

At the core of this strategy has been the creation of a number of centres of excellence, with teams trained and equipped to provide technical expertise and professional service and support for Cliq technology.

Achieving Cliq Competence Centre certification exclusively positions Abloy UK as the only authorised Cliq service and support centre in the UK & Ireland.

To continue further development of this initiative, Abloy has strengthened its team, recently adding three people to the sales and technical departments to provide the resources needed to deliver comprehensive service and support for Cliq customers.

Mervi Hiltunen, Solution Manager for Abloy Oy, says: “Abloy Oy is continuing to invest globally in Cliq technology, and we believe it’s equally important to make sure the teams that support our customers are trained and equipped to provide professional expertise and service."

“I’m delighted to award Abloy UK certification as Cliq Competence Centre by Abloy making them the 6th Centre of Excellence for Cliq. In 2019, Abloy aims to expand the network of Cliq Competence Centres in North America, Southern Europe and APAC to become recognised as the first class service and solution provider also in these market areas.”

Pip Courcoux, Sales & Product Manager Cliq Systems for Abloy UK, adds: “This certification by Abloy Oy endorses our capability to provide first class services and ensure that we maintain and grow our position as the leader of electromechanical locking solutions in the UK and Irish markets.”
