Founded over 100 years ago, Ojmar is the world-leading European manufacturer of innovative high performance electronic and mechanical locking solutions combining exceptional customer service and uncompromising quality along with a responsiveness to client, customer and market demands.
With a strong, determined approach to research and development, the company has over 80 patents around the world and constantly maintains and strengthens its challenge for providing specifiers with new solutions and value.
As part of the company’s ongoing commitment to environmental sustainability and the Circular Economy, not only does Ojmar source materials and critical components locally reducing its carbon footprint but also manufactures in the EU using 100% recycled energy and has control of the whole process in-house, from design to production and commissioning.
Making use of advents in of RFID, NFC, wireless and proximity technology, the company is at the forefront of development. A good example is OTS® PULSE – the ultimate wireless networked locking solution that operates in highly secure cloud software. Designed for quick and easy installation, without complex and costly hardwiring – just a simple standard internet connection managed through a PC, tablet or smartphone. With a battery life of up to 10 years, it results in low environmental impact and reduced waste.
Now the company has gone one step further and has introduced the worlds-first intelligent locking system without batteries. OTS® 20 Batteryless is an innovative self-powered locking system producing its own energy when used. Harnessing ‘PUSH POWER’ to keep and maintain its internal power at a sustainable level, it is a revolutionary locking system designed to reduce environmental impact by avoiding the production of batteries and waste, contributing to a lower carbon footprint. Furthermore, no battery means no battery replacement costs and reduced time and resources required on site for maintenance.
This advent of battery-free smart locking systems goes a long way to helping companies be more sustainable and reaching their carbon emission targets. As more and more companies pledge to hit near net-zero emissions global carbon footprint reduction, they also define their CSR Strategies to ensure minimal environmental impact and policies such as sourcing local materials and reducing energy and waste feeds into that demand.
In the commercial environment, hybrid working has continued to be the standard work practice for most businesses in the UK. Workspaces have changed and the corporate world has adapted to this more dynamic and fluid way of working, with increased hot-desking and a decline of the traditional one-person, one-desk policy. This has led to an increased demand for employee lockers to have a space where they can store their personal and work items to feel involved with a sense of belonging.
