Gallagher Security Announces New Swedish Team To Drive Growth In Europe

Global security manufacturer, Gallagher has announced the introduction of a new team that’s poised to service the growing market in Sweden and the surrounding Nordic countries. 

As a global security pioneer, trusted to protect sites in 138 countries, and with over 13,000 customers worldwide, creating a team in Sweden was a logical choice for Gallagher due to the parallels between the UK and Sweden’s business cultures and the country’s adoption of cutting-edge cyber technology.

New Swedish team

Synergies across the vertical alignment of Gallagher’s established business in the UK and the business opportunities for the company in Sweden also played a role in the decision, with key focuses on critical national infrastructure, military, and complex environments.

The new team, led by Håkan Björkman and including Daniel Groth (Technical Account Manager) and Johan Reich (Business Development Manager), are experts in the Nordic market for access control, perimeter, and intruder detection solutions, and are tasked with building lasting partnerships for Gallagher across Sweden and the Nordic region.

He adds, “Gallagher is in a very strong position to solve business problems to meet the needs and concerns of many companies that operate throughout mainland Europe. Cyber resilience and maintaining operational continuity are key to protecting what matters most, whether with energy generation or manufacturing."
