From here, she highlights the need to embrace the latest physical security trends and future-proof innovations to adapt to the evolving needs of customers. They say you can’t know where you are going until you know where you have been. Mul-T-Lock was established in 1973 as a company to design premium security products and strong partnerships with locksmiths. These collaborations have played a significant role over the last five decades in ensuring innovative security systems are accessible to customers in various markets. This anniversary year is our chance to express gratitude to these valuable partners and reaffirm our commitment to nurturing and growing these relationships with the latest products, including MTL800. And we can’t wait to celebrate as Diamond Partners at the upcoming MLA Expo in October 2023. As well as reflecting, we must look forward. The landscape of physical security is undergoing a remarkable transformation. As technology advances and new threats emerge, whether it be home, business, rural or vehicle crime, there is a need to be proactive and support customers looking for complete solutions. Trends include AI and video analytics, together with the Internet of Things (IoT) integration is revolutionising our world. Cloud-based security solutions are changing how we can monitor and control our security infrastructure from anywhere, at any time. What we must remember, is underpinning all of this interconnected ecosystem is the need for good quality mechanical and electromechanical security. Mul-TLock has a duty of care as a knowledge leader to stay one step ahead and offer the necessary advice, guidance and product innovation to create safer environments. You can have the most sophisticated, cloud-enabled, biometric scanning system in the world but if the locks are of poor design and poor quality, then security will be breached swiftly. Our Mul-T-Lock approved partners and locksmiths are well-positioned to shape the future of security and provide customers with the peace of mind they deserve.
