ASSA ABLOY has acquired Trojan Holdings, a supplier of residential door and window hardware into the door and window fabricator market.

Trojan Holdings, formed in 1993, has sales of circa £20m a year and employs 65 people in its facilities in the West Midlands.

Given the strong commercial synergies between Trojan Holdings and ASSA ABLOY, in particular with the Yale Door and Windows Solutions business unit, the acquisition will create opportunities for both businesses to leverage their respective capabilities enabling them to service and develop their combined customer base more effectively into the future.

Trojan Holdings will continue to operate as an autonomous business unit, retaining the existing, strong commercial and operational team that has made the business successful today.

Announcing the acquisition, Neil Vann, market regional manager of ASSA ABLOY UK, said: “I am very pleased to welcome Trojan, which has a strong track record of growth and innovative product development. The company offers comprehensive ranges of door and window hardware, which complement and extend the ASSA ABLOY offering. Their wealth of experience in the residential market will further strengthen our team and businesses in the UK to the benefit of our customers.”
