More than a century after its founding, Ojmar continues to prove that innovation has no expiration date. The Basque company, a world leader in smart locking systems, once again takes the lead with the creation of the first electronic lock without batteries or wiring — a breakthrough that redefines efficiency and sustainability in today’s workspaces.
The new OTS 40 Batteryless represents a technological leap that goes beyond convenience or design. It is a bold commitment to a future without waste, without maintenance, and without energy consumption. Thanks to its patented Push Power technology, the lock generates its own power every time the user turns the knob, completely eliminating the need for batteries or electrical installation.
According to Aitor Elorza, Sales and Marketing Director at Ojmar, “this innovation reflects our vision of progress — creating technology that is useful, sustainable, and designed to last.”
Basque technology with a global reach
From its headquarters in Eibar, Ojmar has turned an idea born in the Basque Country’s industrial heartland into a global benchmark. Today, the company exports more than 75% of its production to over 80 countries, with strong markets in Europe, the UK, the United States, and the Asia-Pacific region.
Its portfolio includes over two million locking systems installed worldwide, both mechanical and electronic, used in offices, gyms, universities, hospitals, and corporate buildings. This expansion reflects a clear mission: to offer solutions that improve both space management and the user experience.
The OTS 40 Batteryless also integrates easily with existing access control systems using RFID + NFC technology, enabling use with cards, wristbands, or smartphones. Its online connection allows for real-time remote management, an essential tool for hybrid workplaces and smart buildings.
Innovation with purpose
For Ojmar, innovation is not just about technology — it’s about purpose.
Since 1919, the company has evolved from manufacturing mechanical components to leading the smart-lock revolution without energy consumption.
Today, its commitment to sustainability, digitalization, and design translates into solutions that reduce carbon footprint, optimize operational efficiency, and create more responsible spaces.
“Our goal is not just to make locks, but to open doors to a more sustainable and human future,” says Elorza.
It’s this philosophy that has made Ojmar a global brand combining Basque talent, advanced technology, and meaningful design.
