Among the topics promoted in the pavilion are smart energy, sustainability, digitalization, health and wellbeing
Among the topics promoted in the pavilion are smart energy, sustainability, digitalization, health and wellbeing. It was a logical decision therefore that iLOQ would be a partner of the Metsä pavilion, and deliver its self-powered, digital locking system to the house. iLOQ is an innovator in the locking industry and has a strong portfolio of safe and sustainable products that maximize safety and minimize administration and lifecycle costs.
iLOQ’s mobile and digital locking systems are self-powered and enable electronic locking without batteries or cables. They cater to the needs of industry and the utility sector by providing smart locking and secure and simple access management solutions for the buildings and spaces used daily.
President and CEO of iLOQ, Heikki Hiltunen, commented: “We are delighted to showcase our state-of-the-art and environmentally friendly digital and mobile access management systems in the Metsä pavilion. This will open business opportunities for us in the Japanese markets and among Japanese customers and will help us establish new connections with partners in the region and globally”.
Advanced remote control services
In accordance with the Company’s environmental program, iLOQ conserves natural resources and the environment. For example, it maximizes the usability of their products, minimizes battery and metal waste, favors recyclable packaging and reduces the need for maintenance-related travel by developing advanced remotely control services. Every year, iLOQ’s solutions save 27,000 kg or battery waste and, compared to mechanical locking solutions, 7000 kg of metal waste.
The aim of the pavilion is to provide Finnish companies with the opportunity to create new business in Japan and gain new contacts in the market.
