What Meesons does

Meesons (legal entity Andwis, founded 1864) is a privately held access security consultancy and physical entrance-control specialist headquartered in Skipton, United Kingdom, with regional offices in Lyon (Europe) and Dubai (Gulf). The company designs, sources, supplies, installs, and maintains an integrated portfolio of entrance-control hardware - speed gates (EasyGate Elite, SPD, SPT, Superb ranges), cylindrical and classic security portals (C1-C5, C190, E1-E3, HPJ190, FPJ140), revolving doors (Rev 4 family plus the flagship Rev 190 LPS 1175 C5 unit), and tripod/full-height turnstiles (BAR ONE, BAR EK, Rexon DEA/ERA) - complemented by the SMACS multi-sensor anti-tailgating system and an in-house service/maintenance organisation. The core enabling technologies include patented magnetic direct drive, APD ultrasonic anti-piggybacking sensors, cylindrical interlock systems, and the in-house LPS 1175 / NPSA / Secured by Design certified configurations marketed as the most extensive range of LPS 1175-approved high-security doors in the UK market.

Meesons makes money through three coordinated streams: (i) specification-driven hardware sales into enterprise and government projects, won primarily via architects, RIBA-accredited CPD sessions, and security consultants; (ii) bespoke installation and commissioning services delivered by qualified technicians; and (iii) recurring service and maintenance contracts that extend product life and lock in aftermarket revenue. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales, geographically anchored across the UK, continental Europe, and the Gulf. Customer base spans six primary verticals - data centers, critical national infrastructure, fitness & leisure, higher education, commercial offices, and banking & finance - with named enterprise deployments at HMRC, Canary Wharf Group, the Francis Crick Institute, PureGym (300+ sites), the Cavendish Laboratory, and London 1 Data Centre.

• Allegion: US-listed access control and door hardware group. Adjacent incumbent in the security entrance and access control category Meesons serves, particularly in regulated facilities, though with a more US-centric installed base.
• dormakaba: Swiss-listed global access solutions group spanning automatic doors, locks, and entrance systems. Comparable as a broader incumbent whose portfolio overlaps with Meesons' speed gates and revolving doors, but operates at materially larger scale and scope.
• Assa Abloy: Swedish-listed global access and door solutions conglomerate with entrance systems and high-security door divisions. Overlaps with Meesons on high-security portals and LPS-rated products, but is a much larger diversified incumbent with global reach.

Direct peers

• Automatic Systems: Belgian manufacturer of pedestrian and vehicle entrance control equipment, including speed gates, turnstiles, and high-security portals. Closely overlaps with Meesons' EasyGate and cylindrical security portal offerings for enterprise and government buyers.
• Magnetic AutoControl: German manufacturer of vehicle barriers, pedestrian gates, and speed gates. Comparable to Meesons on the tripod and full-height turnstile side and on the entrance-control specification sale motion into enterprise and public-sector buyers.
