Within the world of hardware, mechanical solutions have traditionally been the main focus. Electronic access systems, however, are on the rise. Proof of this is the product range of Mauer Nederland in Amersfoort. In addition to a strong mechanical foundation, this company distinguishes itself, among other things, with extensive wireless access control systems and electronic locker locks. A unique Scandinavian program, including high-quality oval cylinders and motor-controlled locks from parent company ASSA ABLOY, completes the range.
For the very beginning of Mauer Netherlands' rich history, we must go back to the founding year of 1936. Since then, the company has developed into today's reliable, innovative and personal partner in the field of hardware. In 2016, Mauer Netherlands experienced an important milestone with the acquisition by Sweden's ASSA ABLOY, the world leader in access solutions.
"Important reasons for that acquisition were the knowledge and skills we have in house, and also because we have a high-quality production site in Bulgaria," says sales manager Niels Smit of Mauer Netherlands. "As part of ASSA ABLOY, we now also benefit from the added value that such a large company offers, while at the same time maintaining our quality and flexibility."
The acquisition by ASSA ABLOY also opened new doors to electronic access systems for Mauer Netherlands. A good example of this is SMARTair®, a system that includes various electronic components, such as door hardware, wall readers and cylinders.
"This creates a complete, wireless access control system," says Niels. "From a single door to larger complexes. And both stand-alone and with smart software where doors can be managed automatically and remotely. Of course, access control via a Mifare® card, tag, PIN or smartphone is also possible. Moreover, this access solution is future-proof; because the components are multi-deployable, the system is easy to expand."
According to Niels, electronic systems are also the future because of their ease of use and because they ensure safety. "In addition, these systems are sustainable and environmentally friendly. That fits perfectly with our own company philosophy of sustainability. Not for nothing was the roof of our premises in Amersfoort recently fitted with no less than 220 solar panels."
Another eye-catching innovation from Mauer Netherlands is the CABlock locker series introduced in 2022. "This series is a continuation of our first line of locker locks that we launched 16 years ago," Niels clarifies. "The CABlock locker series is specifically designed for public buildings, such as gyms, universities, high schools, hospitals, offices, media centers and hotels. These wireless locker locks, easily managed with a code or card, are also ideal for the replacement market. In fact, in public buildings that currently have mechanical lockers, these electronic locker locks can be integrated quite easily. So converting from mechanical access management to electronic certainly does not have to be complicated."
Mauer Netherlands has become large through a wide range of technically patented profile cylinders. Years of development have created a strong mechanical foundation, consisting of a stable and high-quality range of Mauer cylinders in various lengths and profiles. All security cylinders have an SKG quality mark.** profile to an extra secure SKG*** profile. Recently, Mauer Netherlands has also started offering a modular assortment, making a proprietary profile even more attractive for the trade.
"Apart from that, a Nordic program from ASSA ABLOY is now also available," Niels explains. "Within this cylinder range - in addition to the standard euro profile cylinders - include double cylinders, half cylinders, oval cylinders, round cylinders and other deviating mechanical solutions, and in every conceivable design. This unique range, which in addition to cylinders also includes electronic locks, is therefore ideally suited for specialist retailers who want to stand out in the market."
