History1Our History

ISEO Serrature SpA, an extension of the individual concern of Giuseppe Facchinetti, was founded in 1969 in Pisogne (BS), Italy, as a manufacturer of locks, cylinders and padlocks

Since then, ISEO Serrature has become a leading company in the domestic and foreign markets and has evolved into a group: ISEO Holding.

Since 1998 the company has taken over a number of concerns in order to achieve a wider range of products and services. From traditional locks to access control systems, from single products to global services and integrated solutions based on “reasoned technology” : this is Iseo’s concrete answer to the growing demand for safety. This process has a double purpose: on one hand, to complete the offer for passive and active safety and on the other hand to extend the group’s world market share.

For this reason, a number of trading and manufacturing companies were founded world-wide to support the international markets.

Iseo Iberica
, in Madrid, for the Spanish and South-American markets; Iseo Middle East, in Dubai, for the Middle-East and Indo-Pakistan markets and Iseo Nilo, in Cairo, for the North African market.

With the acquisition of Cavers (Paris), a historic French company in the passive safety field, the ISEO HOLDING aims at strengthening its position in this market.

History2Over its nearly thirty-year-old activity, Iseo Serrature has become a leader in the field of passive safety. Nowadays, the Iseo Holding is implementing a global strategy focused on the change from traditional safety systems to integrated and user-friendly safety solutions and services, with technical support for installers.

This strategy is accomplished through two operations:
the acquisition of RCE (a well-established company distributing integrated protection systems and automation), a structure offering assistance and servicing, and the participation in Tattile Digital Devices (a well-established company in the field of electronic solutions), a development centre for electronic solutions.

The ISEO Holding is presently organised in “divisions”: the locks division- composed of the Parent company ISEO Serrature, Iseo Iberica, Iseo Middle East, Iseo Nilo, Cavers and IMS Industria Meccanica Sebina– and the automation division with the Parent company GiBiDi, RCE and LA.CE.CO.

The ISEO Holding also has a 25% participation in Entra Italian Doorhandles (born from the merger between Maniglie Pasotti and Eurobrass) .
