2012
In October in 2012, we started a restructuring project
and cost-savings program in all divisions, in order to
improve our operating income while at the same time
making investments in technology. For example, we
invested in a global competence center in Malmö,
Sweden, within the Remote video Solutions area with
the aim of developing solutions and supporting the
country organizations. During the year, we made 6
major acquisitions, with 3, 200 employees with total
annual sales of approximately MSEK 500.
2013
During the year, we have been working intensely to
rebuild the company’s internal technology compe-
tence and know-how. We now have a technology
organization in place in all of our business segments,
including Chief Technology Officers in all major
countries, a central support service and approximately
2,100 employees who are focused on technology
and remote services. Common targets and goals have
been introduced across the entire organization.
2014
In 2014 we have continued the work to integrate on-
site, remote and mobile guarding services with tech-
nology solutions to achieve a higher level of customer
satisfaction through cost-efficiency and added value.
Securitas is well prepared to accelerate the security
solutions process.
2015
In October 2015 we agreed to acquire Diebold’s North
American Electronic Security business. This was our
largest acquisition made in 15 years. The company’s
12-month sales from June 30, 2014 through June 30,
2015 totaled MSEK 2,820.
