What Almas Industries AG does

Almas Industries AG is a privately held German security technology company headquartered in Mannheim, founded in 2004, that provides integrated security-as-a-service solutions to small and medium-sized enterprises across Germany and Austria. The company is structured as an Aktiengesellschaft under German law and operates through a wholly-owned Austrian subsidiary (Almas Industries GmbH, Salzburg) with multi-branch presence in Mannheim, Köln, Bonn, Hamburg, Hannover, and Großröhrsdorf.

The core product portfolio combines physical security hardware (biometric and electronic access control, radar-based perimeter protection via SafeAreaGuard and RadarSecure, intruder alarm systems with live perpetrator address capability, mobile surveillance towers via SafeTower, video surveillance with AI-powered Video-Alarm-Detection) with a proprietary 24/7 Notruf- und Serviceleitstelle (NSL) monitoring center. All products are integrated through the Optima360 platform, which combines intrusion detection, video surveillance, and access control into a unified management environment. The product line extends beyond traditional security into workplace safety (Totmannschalter/PNA lone worker devices, Notfallsäule emergency columns) and the DOC automated external defibrillator with automatic emergency call functionality.

The business model is built on an all-inclusive monthly subscription that bundles hardware, software, installation, 24/7 NSL monitoring, maintenance, and service, eliminating upfront capital expenditure for customers. Go-to-market is via direct enterprise field sales with on-site security assessments, supported by a digital marketing funnel (German-language SEO blog, Google reviews, customer reference pages) targeting verticals including pharmacies, care services, logistics/transport, automotive dealerships, fitness studios, jewellers, petrol stations, entertainment venues, and manufacturing. The company is led by CEO Hervé Mangonaux with Walter Butler as Chairman of the Supervisory Board.

Direct peers

• Telenot Electronic GmbH: German manufacturer and integrator of intruder alarm, access control, and fire detection systems, with strong DACH distribution and certified installer network. Directly comparable to Almas on electronic security systems integration, alarm monitoring partnerships, and SMB/mid-market customer focus.
• ABUS Security-Center GmbH: German security technology brand offering video surveillance, alarm systems, and access control under the well-known ABUS umbrella. Comparable product portfolio (alarm, video, access), DACH distribution strength, and SMB customer orientation.
• Kötter Security: German security services provider with electronic security (alarm, video, access control) and guarding offerings. Comparable on integrated electronic security solutions and German SMB/enterprise customer base, with broader guarding services that complement Almas's Totmannschalter/lone-worker offering.
• Securiton AG: Swiss-German security specialist with alarm systems, video surveillance, and perimeter protection. Comparable on DACH focus, intruder alarm + video verification stack, and integrated security-as-a-service positioning for businesses.

Regional players

• Daitem (Atral group): European (French/German) wireless security systems specialist with alarm and intruder detection products for SMBs and residential. Comparable on wireless intruder alarm focus and DACH distribution, though primarily a product manufacturer without Almas's all-inclusive subscription/NSL service model.

Broad incumbents

• Bosch Security Systems: Global manufacturer and integrator of video surveillance, intrusion detection, access control, and integrated security platforms. Comparable on the core product categories Almas serves, but operates at much greater scale across enterprise, public-sector, and industrial customers worldwide.
• Securitas AB: Global leader in security services with extensive electronic security offerings (alarm monitoring, integrated solutions). Comparable on alarm monitoring services and electronic security systems, but operates at vastly greater scale and broader portfolio than Almas.
• Siemens Smart Infrastructure (Building Technologies): Global broad incumbent offering building security, access control, and integrated building management systems. Comparable in access control and integrated security platform capabilities but at enterprise/mid-market scale well beyond Almas's SMB focus.
• Honeywell Building Technologies: Global security and building management player with intrusion, video, access control, and integrated platform offerings (Pro-Watch, MAXPRO). Comparable on the integrated security platform concept but at enterprise/global scale and broader building-automation scope.

Emerging players

• Lupus Electronics GmbH: German specialist in smart-home and SMB security (alarm, video, automation). Comparable on intrusion and video product portfolio for smaller commercial customers, with a more consumer-leaning orientation than Almas's pure B2B focus.
