Lock Your World is becoming part of the STUV world.

STEINBACH & VOLLMANN GmbH (STUV) is acquiring Lock Your World GmbH, the innovative provider of electronic locking systems, as part of a transfer of assets within the framework of a restructuring. The long-established company, which specialises in reliable locking solutions ranging from quarter turns to complete control technology for high-security systems, is thus strengthening its position in the dynamically developing market for high-security electronic locking systems.

With PYLOCX®, STUV – a leading manufacturer of mechanical and electronic high-security technology and lock systems for over 140 years – has the most secure locking system in the world in its portfolio. PYLOCX® is a protected trademark and is based on proprietary technology. It is the only maintenance-free locking system approved by the German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) for critical infrastructure, including for the transport of smart meters (SilKe) and in digital radio.

The PYLOCX® locking system simplifies access for authorised persons while remaining impenetrable to unauthorised persons. It is more than just a lock, because the secure authentication of authorised persons allows logistics chains and decentralised locations to be secured. The system is simple and intuitive to use, maintenance-free and works independently of electricity. This is because the energy required for the locking process is suppliedby the key, known as the PYKEY®.

The acquisition means that the groundbreaking PYLOCX® locking system and a whole range of other innovative Lock your World productswill not only become part of STUV's extensive product range, but also part of STUV's strategy for the future. This strategy will benefit both the company and its customers in many ways.

For Heiligenhaus, the new portfolio and cooperation with the team in Bad Orb are key factors in expanding its position in the international market for high-security electronic locking systems and supply chains. In addition to retaining all Lock Your World jobs, STUV plans to expand its human resources to support its growth. STUV aims to become more efficient, creative and fit for future challenges in the field of increasingly specialised high-security locking solutions.

For PYLOCX® customers, the integration of product and range development, sales and customer service under the umbrella of the financially strong STUV Group means an even better overall package, with further application possibilities, greater security, closer customer proximity and improved performance in the future.
