    Smart access solutions

    Salto was founded in 2000 in the Basque Country with the vision of developing flexible and wireless access systems. The company quickly grew into an international group of companies with over 1,850 employees and more than 100,000 installations at 10 million access points. Today, the industry leaders Gantner and Vintia are also part of the “Salto Wecosystem”

    Pioneering technologies and continuous milestones
    The Salto Virtual Network, a virtual, highly secure locking system, revolutionized the industry back in 2002. The introduction of Salto Wireless in 2008 laid the foundation for wireless, real-time networked access control. A milestone for large-scale projects and flexible building structures. With JustIN Mobile, Salto launched mobile access solutions back in 2015 and further developed access management with cloud platforms

    New solutions for the future
    2025 With XS4 Face, Salto is focusing on biometric access control via facial recognition and combining this with mobile user registration. The new ID management system Salto IDM expands the portfolio with comprehensive identity management functions. Continuous product series and functional enhancements ensure that the company keeps its finger on the pulse

  • Hotel castle wins prestigious design award

    Hotel castle wins prestigious design award

    Dormakaba, which specialises in access and locking systems, has won the ICONIC AWARD from the German Design Council with its Quantum Pixel hotel lock. The digital lock, which is integrated directly into the door leaf, enables access with mobile devices at any time thanks to its compatibility with NFC, Bluetooth Low Energy and digital wallets. The Quantum Pixel can also be activated with RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) access media such as access cards, key fobs and wristbands.

    The versatility of the lock thus increases convenience for hotel guests, according to a press release from dormakaba, while at the same time simplifying the administration of hotel management with the digital allocation of access rights. With a choice of different surfaces, lever handle versions and two escutcheon designs, the access solution can also be configured to suit the hotel’s taste.

    “Global technological and user-centred aspects are decisive in the design. The honouring of our Quantum Pixel electronic hotel lock with the prestigious ICONIC AWARD shows once again that dormakaba brings innovative solutions with high customer benefits to the market,” Bernhard Heitz, Head of Strategic Product Design, is quoted as saying in the press release.

    According to the German Design Council, the ICONIC AWARD honours outstanding achievements in architecture, interior design and product innovation and strengthens international exchange in the construction and design industry. In 2025, the winners were selected from over 560 entries in five main categories and 42 sub-categories.
