ASSA ABLOY, the world's largest lock manufacturer by sales volume, has acquired smart lock company August Home. ASSA ABLOY is the company behind brands such as Adams Rite, Rixson, Yale, and more.

"August Home strengthens our residential smart door strategy with complementary smart locks, expansion into video doorbells and comprehensive solutions for home delivery," says Thanasis Molokotos, Executive Vice President of ASSA ABLOY and Head of the Americas Division.
