ABUS security solutions

The Legacy of ABUS Security

ABUS, which stands for August Bremicker und Söhne, is an iconic German brand that has redefined safety and security since its inception in 1924. Originally starting as a small family operation producing traditional padlocks in the village of Volmarstein, the company has grown into a global leader in mechanical and electronic security technology.

Manufacturing and Global Reach

While the brand maintains its heart and soul in Germany—where it operates several high-tech production facilities to ensure the 'Made in Germany' quality seal—it has expanded its manufacturing footprint. To meet global demand for various product lines including bike helmets, locks, and home surveillance systems, ABUS also utilizes specialized production sites in Italy and China. Each site adheres to strict quality control standards to maintain the brand's reputation for reliability.

Ownership and Structure

ABUS remains a quintessential German 'Mittelstand' company, being family-owned and operated for five generations. As of 2024 and looking toward the future, the ABUS Group remains under the private ownership of the Bremicker family. This long-term family stewardship has allowed the brand to focus on sustainable innovation and customer trust rather than short-term quarterly profits, solidifying its position as a household name in security across Europe and the world.
