Gunnebo traces its roots back to 1764, when Hans Hultman established a forge in the village of Gunnebo, in southern Sweden. Originally focused on ironworks, the company evolved over centuries into a global security powerhouse. In 1995, Gunnebo AB was formed through a series of strategic acquisitions, consolidating expertise in safes, vaults, entrance control, and electronic security. Headquartered in Gothenburg, Sweden, Gunnebo now operates in over 100 markets, with a mission to create a safer world through intelligent security solutions.
