Nedap Security

What Nedap Security does

Nedap Security is the physical security division of Nedap N.V., a Dutch technology group founded in 1929 and listed on Euronext Amsterdam since 1947. Headquartered in Groenlo, the Netherlands, with wholly owned regional entities in Belgium, Germany, the UK, Spain, Poland, and the UAE, the division sells the AEOS software-based access control platform to more than 5,500 enterprise customers across 83 countries. The platform is developed in-house at the Groenlo headquarters and is offered through on-premises, cloud (Access AtWork), and hybrid deployment models, with sixth-generation controllers, end-to-end cybersecurity, mobile credentials (Apple Wallet and Google Wallet), PIAM (PACE), locker management, intrusion detection, and vehicle/driver identification modules.

Nedap Security generates revenue through a combination of AEOS software licenses and subscriptions, hardware sales (controllers, readers, locks, peripherals), and Enterprise Professional Services. It goes to market exclusively via a global network of certified channel partners for mid-market and regional deals, and runs the Enterprise Programme (Global Client Programme) for direct multinational rollout support. Named customers include Unilever (800 sites), Saudi Aramco, ADNOC Distribution, BNP Paribas, ING Belgium, Belfius, GEA, Danfoss, Lufthansa Technik (35+ sites), EDF Energy, Proximus, PostNord, DPG Media, Polpharma, the Flemish Government, RTA Dubai, and the University of Nottingham, spanning consumer goods, banking, oil & gas, manufacturing, aviation, education, utilities, government, logistics, media, pharma, and telecom verticals. The division positions AEOS around openness to best-of-breed third-party integrations through a Technology Partner Programme covering biometrics (HID, fingerprint, face, iris), video (Milestone), Assa Abloy Aperio wireless locks, SAP, and visitor and key cabinet management.

Recent strategic activity has been concentrated in product and partnership expansion: a 2022 sixth-generation AEOS controller release, an industry-first Device Certificate Management feature in January 2025, native Google Wallet mobile credentials in September 2025, and a strategic December 2025 partnership with iLOQ to integrate battery-free digital locking with AEOS for critical infrastructure, utilities, industry, and healthcare. Revenue is not disclosed at the Security division level; estimated annual revenue sits in the $100M-$250M band based on installed base, employee count, regional footprint, and the scale of the parent group.
