Major Highlights of the Year
dormakaba continues to expand and deepen its impact throughout the global building industry, linking groundbreaking innovations into seamless solutions for every place that matters.
Resorts World guest experience
At the time of launch in March 2025, no other property on the Las Vegas Strip had room key in Apple Wallet. The resort’s strategic move was instrumental in enhancing the guest experience, enabling guests to access their rooms with their iPhone or Apple Watch as their key. dormakaba partner Alliants provides a mobile check-in suite that features a seamless room key in Apple Wallet integration. Mobile check-in rates increased significantly at Resorts World following the introduction of the end-to-end solution. Conversion jumped from a previous range of 10–16% to over 44% on property.
Holistic airport security solutions
With the industry’s most comprehensive offering for passenger security, from arrival to boarding, dormakaba supports airports to deliver a seamless and secure passenger experience. This year, we continued to expand our leading position as a partner in the aviation sector, closing over 80 airport projects worldwide, including Noida Airport in India, Ireland’s three main airports, and installations at various sites for Air Canada. Further, we expanded our production capacity in India to meet increasing regional demand. At the same time, we introduced a new groundbreaking solution for Automated Personnel Screening (APS), developed in partnership with Rohde & Schwarz, which was met with strong market interest.
Increasing patient safety and operational efficiency in healthcare
To help healthcare providers ensure patient safety, we deliver a wide spectrum of access solutions tailored to the unique needs of hospitals, clinics, nursing homes, medical centers, pharmacies, and laboratories. This year, we won major medical projects from Singapore to multiple cantonal hospitals in Switzerland, providing a broad range of our solutions, from access control to mechanical key systems. Projects also included major redevelopments for two Children’s hospitals in Sydney, Australia, each bringing in a seven-figure sales total.
Keeping Sports & Entertainment safe and fun
We support operators of sports and entertainment venues in providing a safe and welcoming experience for spectators while complying with increasingly strict access, security, and emergency regulations. This year, our team completed a seven-digit contract for supplying fully integrated access control systems across all nine stadiums for the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations tournament. Further wins included installations at Melbourne Olympic Park in Australia and for the upcoming world football championship in North America.
Starring at the industry’s premier trade shows
At BAU 2025, the world’s leading trade fair for architecture, materials, and systems, we showcased our latest innovations that help our customers meet evolving demands in building design, energy efficiency, and security. Visitors responded very positively to the presented range of products, solutions and tools such as the EntriWorX ecosystem for streamlined access planning, installation, and operations. At ISC West 2025, we further demonstrated how our integrated, layered approach secures and protects essential facilities, from the exterior perimeter right through to individual safe and cabinet locks.
Award-winning innovation and design
In February 2025, we were awarded with two of the prestigious German Design Awards. The international jury named our new 98 00-K7 time recording terminal generation and the skyra cloud-based access solution as the winners in the category of Excellent Product Design – Building and Elements. Meanwhile, the Security Industry Association in the US named dormakaba’s EntriWorX Insights as the winner in its Design, Diagnostics, and Installation Tools category, and the CenconX One-Time-Code safe lock as winner in Lock and Key Solutions. Further, four products were declared winners at the “2024 ICONIC Awards: Innovative Architecture”.
Making a difference for families in need of housing
At dormakaba, corporate social responsibility is more than just a commitment; it is a fundamental part of our identity. This year marks the fifth in which our employees in Indianapolis, USA, have partnered with Greater Indy Habitat for Humanity. Through this partnership, we have donated more than USD 400,000 to help families in central Indiana achieve home ownership. With the dedication of over 250 employee volunteers, three more families now have a safe place to call home.
