Broad incumbents

• JELD-WEN: Global manufacturer of doors and windows. Broad incumbent in the door/window category in which Trellidor's barriers are installed; relevant as channel context and adjacent competitive set.
• Chubb (UTC Climate, Controls & Security / Carrier): Established security products and services brand covering physical and electronic security. Broad incumbent providing adjacent security solutions that may substitute or complement barrier products.

Emerging players
