2025 has been a landmark year for UAP Ltd, marked by strategic growth, major product launches, and significant industry recognition. Over the past 12 months, UAP has strengthened its position as a leading innovator in door hardware and security solutions, reinforcing our commitment to performance, compliance, and design excellence.

David Jennings, CEO of UAP Ltd, commented:
“2025 has been a defining year for UAP, and our people’s dedication and expertise have been central to this success. Joining Allegion gives us the scale to accelerate growth, but our focus remains the same — investing in our people, developing game-changing products, and driving progress for our customers and the industry.”
