Company profile
Yale is one of the oldest existing international brands in the lock industry. It has been operating for more than 170 years and is one of the most respected brands in the world in the locking industry. Yale's story started in a small lock shop in the United States when Linus Yale created his first lock innovation. The brand has evolved together with people from being a simple mechanical innovator to driving the evolution of smart locks and connected homes. Yale stands on the solid ground of trust, knowledge, and heritage, making durable, high-quality products. This is why the brand still exists today, that too, in more than 120 markets.
How
It All Started
Yale
owes its recognition to the determination and ingenuity of its founder, Linus
Yale. He opened his first shop around 1840. In 1847, he opened a factory in
Newport, USA, to manufacture the innovative pin-tumbler lock he had developed.
The
Pin-Tumbler Invention
In
1856, Yale introduced a revolutionary product: a cylinder pin-tumbler lock.
This lock is very similar to the ancient Egyptian lock but with sliding rather
than rotating mechanism.
Worldwide
Expansion
Partnering
for Growth
In
1963, Linus Yale Junior and his colleague, Henry Towne, established the Yale
& Towne Company in Stanford, Connecticut. In August 2000, ASSA ABLOY, the
world's leading lock group, purchased Yale.
Expanding
Its Portfolio
Yale
considers it its duty to improve the lives of all worldwide. So, in 2016, the
brand extended its portfolio by introducing security devices such as alarms and
cameras that allow people to protect their homes from almost anywhere in the
world.
