The increase in demand for non-residential products also bodes well. An increase in demand for electronic security products, driven by growing awareness about the security and safety of people and infrastructure, is driving the Allegion International segment. Positive price realization and the acquisitions of ELATEC and Lemaar Pty also bode well for the segment.Expansion Initiatives: The company solidified its product portfolio and leveraged business opportunities by adding assets. In July 2025, ALLE acquired ELATEC, including Elatec GmbH and other group entities (ELATEC), from Summit Partners. ELATEC’s expertise in RFID reader and credential solutions will enable Allegion to expand its global electronics portfolio in non-residential markets such as education, healthcare, hospitality, enterprise and industrial. The buyout of Novas Hardware in June 2025 enabled ALLE to boost its door hardware portfolio. In April 2025, the company acquired Trimco Hardware (Trimco), along with its brands and various assets, through one of its subsidiaries. The inclusion of Trimco’s expertise in specialty solutions, coupled with its strong innovation capabilities, will enable Allegion to boost its door and frame portfolio within the Allegion Americas segment. The company acquired Lemaar Pty Ltd (Lemaar) in March 2025. This acquisition boosted Allegion’s security and accessibility portfolio in Australia. The acquired company has been incorporated into the Allegion International segment.

Both the acquired businesses have been incorporated into the Allegion Americas segment.Rewards to Shareholders: Allegion is committed to returning value to shareholders through share repurchases and dividends.
