HOBERG NV/SA

What HOBERG NV/SA does

HOBERG NV/SA, commercially known as DOM Hoberg and DOM Belgium, is a Belgian supplier of mechanical and digital access control solutions founded in 1973 and headquartered at Avenue Edison 27, B-1300 Wavre. The company operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary of DOM Security, which itself sits within the sfpi-group conglomerate. HOBERG's product portfolio is organized across three categories: Door Hardware (mechanical cylinders and locks), Access Control (digital cylinders, digital handles, wall readers and terminals, programming equipment, and credential media), and Industrial Locking Equipment (digital and mechanical furniture locks, plus trapped key interlocking systems). The flagship digital offerings are the ENiQ Security Ecosystem—an integrated digital access control platform combining hardware, software, and mechatronics—and DOM Tapkey, a smartphone-based smart locking solution whose parent company DOM Security joined as a shareholder in November 2022. The mechanical anchor is the DOM ix TwinStar intelligent key control system.

The company addresses three explicit customer segments: individual homeowners seeking front-door and smart-home access control; security professionals and locksmiths who specify and install locking solutions; and industrial manufacturers requiring trapped key interlock systems and OEM furniture locks. HOBERG sells primarily through an authorized dealer and reseller network across Belgium, supported by the DOM Keystone partner portal, direct customer service (phone, email, callback), and a corporate website published in English, French, and Dutch. Revenue is generated principally through hardware sales, with recurring or subscription-style components emerging from ENiQ software and Tapkey credentialing; pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed.

HOBERG employs 11–50 staff and operates from a single Belgian office, making it the country-level commercial arm of the broader DOM Security group, which maintains presence in Germany, the Netherlands, and Belgium. Its strategic posture combines a mature 50+ year mechanical hardware base (50th anniversary celebrated October 2023) with a deliberate digital pivot via Tapkey and ENiQ, targeting the Belgian residential, professional, and industrial security markets through channel-led distribution.
