ABUS

The company traces its origins back to 1924, when the then 63-year-old August Bremicker (186-1938) along with several of his sons, established the business.{{Cite web |last=Kalscheuer |first=Britta |date=2016-04-28 |title=Vom Klassiker zum Innovator |trans-title=From classic to innovator |url=https://www.protector.de/vom-klassiker-zum-innovator |access-date=2024-04-23 |website=www.protector.de |language=de |archive-date=2024-04-23 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240423123911/https://www.protector.de/vom-klassiker-zum-innovator |url-status=live }}{{Cite web |last=Gerber |first=Steffen |date=2024-02-04 |title=100 Jahre Abus in Wetter und ein Mann, der das Erbe bewahrt |trans-title=100 years of Abus in weather and a man who preserves the heritage |url=https://www.wp.de/staedte/herdecke-wetter/article241574078/100-jahre-abus-in-wetter-und-ein-mann-der-das-erbe-bewahrt.html |access-date=2024-04-23 |website=www.wp.de |language=de |archive-date=2024-04-23 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240423123912/https://www.wp.de/staedte/herdecke-wetter/article241574078/100-jahre-abus-in-wetter-und-ein-mann-der-das-erbe-bewahrt.html |url-status=live }} Production operations were initially located in a basement forge in Volmarstein.{{Cite book |date=2012-12-18 |title=Unternehmensporträt: ABUS – Das Sicherheitsschloss - Marken des Jahrhunderts - Handelsblatt |trans-title=Brands of the Century |url=http://www.handelsblatt.com/marken-des-jahrhunderts/unternehmensportraet-abus-das-sicherheitsschloss/7535872.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150110171928/http://www.handelsblatt.com/marken-des-jahrhunderts/unternehmensportraet-abus-das-sicherheitsschloss/7535872.html |archive-date=2015-01-10 |access-date=2024-04-23 |publisher=Deutsche Standards EDITIONEN GmbH |isbn=978-3-86936-449-0}} Initially, ABUS was limited to the manufacture of padlocks. One of the first products to emerge from the forge was the "Iron Rock" padlock. Five years after its foundation, the family business acquired a new {{convert|6,000|m2|adj=on}} building in Volmarstein, to expand its production capacity.{{Cite news |date=1999-09-25 |title=Tradition und Fortschritt ABUS - mit Sicherheit erfolgreich |trans-title=Tradition and progress ABUS - certainly successful |work=Eisenwarenzeitung |publisher=Eisenwaren-Zeitung GmbH (Hrsg.) |pages=18 |language=de |volume=10 |issue=99}} By the end of the 1920s, ABUS had grown its workforce to over 30 employees.{{Cite web |last=ABUS |title=Über ABUS {{!}} Security Tech Germany |url=https://www.abus.com/de/Ueber-ABUS |access-date=2022-09-12 |website=www.abus.com |language=de-DE |archive-date=2024-04-23 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240423123912/https://www.abus.com/de/Ueber-ABUS |url-status=live }}

In 1931, ABUS introduced its inaugural bicycle lock to the market, labelled No. 1000.{{Cite web |title=ABUS: Über ABUS {{!}} Historie |url=https://www.abus.com/de/Ueber-ABUS/Historie-alt |access-date=2022-04-27 |website=www.abus.com}}{{dl|date=June 2024}} ABUS managed its growth trajectory by procuring additional facilities, culminating in the acquisition of an unoccupied factory. Further expansion took place in 1936 with the construction of a new building.

At the end of the 1930s, ABUS employed around 300 people, with 80% of its revenue stemming from exports. During the National Socialist regime, like many enterprises of the era, the company resorted to employing forced labourers from a civilian labour camp in Hagen. Among these labourers was Pierre Roustan,{{Cite news |date=1976-08-13 |title=Franz. Gefangener sieht Volmarstein wieder.

In the aftermath of the Second World War, ABUS was required to suspend production operations entirely. Despite this, it is reported that cordial relations between the workers at the time and representatives of the company continued beyond the end of the war.{{Cite book |title=S+B Schloss-und Beschlagmarkt: Vergangenheit, Gegenwart und Zukunft unter einem Dach |date=October 2022 |publisher=Rudolf Müller |pages=17 |language=de |trans-title=S+B lock and fittings market: past, present and future under one roof}}

In 1947, ABUS received official authorisation to resume operations.{{Cite web |last=Baker |first=Danielle |date=2014-04-06 |title=The Tradition of ABUS |url=https://www.pinkbike.com/news/the-tradition-of-abus-2014.html |access-date=2020-03-10 |website=Pinkbike |language=en |archive-date=2021-04-14 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210414081004/https://www.pinkbike.com/news/the-tradition-of-abus-2014.html |url-status=live }} ABUS recommenced its activities with a workforce of 79 employees.

From 1957, ABUS evolved its Rehe facility into a multifaceted hub, encompassing production facilities, an in-house research and development centre, and from the late 1990s, a dedicated training centre. With the expansion, the Rehe site enabled ABUS to diversify its product range to manufacture security solutions spanning home security, property protection, and mobile security.{{Cite web |title=Weltmarktführer und Bestleistungen der Industrie aus Südwestfalen: Echte Erfolgsgeschichten einer Top-Industrieregion |trans-title=World market leaders and top industry performers from South Westphalia: Real success stories from a top industrial region |url=https://www.ihk-arnsberg.de/upload/Broschuere_WMF_Auflage_5_2018_low_28291.pdf |access-date=2023-12-19 |website=ihk-arnsberg.de |publisher=IHK |page=10 |language=de |edition=5th |archive-date=2023-12-10 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231210204850/https://www.ihk-arnsberg.de/upload/Broschuere_WMF_Auflage_5_2018_low_28291.pdf |url-status=live }}

In 1958, ABUS ventured into the production of brass padlocks, becoming the first German company to introduce this form of lock to the market. In 1961, in partnership with an Italian manufacturing business, the company added profile cylinders to its portfolio.

With the increase of its market exports, ABUS established ABUS Hong Kong Ltd in 1969, which marked the onset of its presence in the IndoAsian area. The company now operates multiple facilities dedicated to manufacturing brass padlocks and other security solutions in the Far East.{{Cite journal |last=Thorsten |first=Schmidt |date=1999-09-30 |title=ABUS Ziel – Nachfrage für Sicherheit stärken |trans-title=ABUS goal – strengthen demand for security |journal=Gert Wohlfahrt GMBH (HRSG.) |language=de |publisher=schloss+beschlag markt |volume=19 |issue=99 |page=9}}

During the early 1970s, the company expanded its range of mechanical security products for houses and flats. Since then, the range has also included door locks and additional window locks. In 1971, ABUS produced the first high shackle lock (also known as a U-shaped lock) and thus developed the first shackle lock for two-wheelers. In 1979, the company unveiled the first window lock to the market, followed by the introduction of the security door in 1984.{{Cite journal |date=August 2018 |title=166 Weltmarktführer im Portrait |trans-title=166 global market leaders in portrait |journal=Industrie- und Handelskammer Arnsberg, Hellweg-Sauerland u.a.

In 1993, ABUS spun off its Mobile Security division, streamlining its operations to focus on its core competencies.{{Cite web |title=Weltmarktführer und Bestleistungen der Industrie aus Südwestfalen.

Throughout the 2000s, ABUS acquired several companies or parts of companies. These acquisitions encompassed new sectors including integrated alarm systems, video surveillance systems, extended functions for locking systems, locking systems, and switching devices - expanding the ABUS portfolio.

The following acquisitions were made:

• SCA Security-Centre (alarm systems and video surveillance systems), founded in June 1999 and acquired by ABUS in June 2001.{{Cite web |title=ABUS In: Lexikon der deutschen Familienunternehmen |trans-title=ABUS In: Lexicon of German family businesses. |url=https://www.lexikon-familienunternehmen.de/familienunternehmen/detailseite/abus |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220516120700/https://www.lexikon-familienunternehmen.de/familienunternehmen/detailseite/abus |archive-date=2022-05-16 |access-date=2022-04-27 |publisher=Die Zeit (Verlagsgruppe) |language=de-DE}}

In tandem with these acquisitions, ABUS implemented organisational changes including renaming the subsidiaries to reflect a closer alignment with the parent company. The subsidiaries were renamed ABUS Security Center GmbH & Co. KG (based in Wetter (Ruhr) with a branch office in Affing near Augsburg), ABUS Pfaffenahin GmbH (based in Pfaffenhain) and ABUS Seccor GmbH (based in Ottobrunn).

In 2022, an independent IT security researcher alerted the German Federal Office for Information Security (de: Bundesamt für Sicherheit in der Informationstechnik) (BSI) to a vulnerability discovered in the HomeTec Pro CFA3000 wireless door lock. This report was part of a Coordinated Vulnerability Disclosure (VCD ) process. Following the submission, the BSI assessed the exploitation as "not unlikely", and categorised the vulnerability at the second-highest risk level. Consequently, the BSI recommended that customers replace the affected product.{{Cite web |last=Bauer |first=Manuel |date=2022-08-11 |title=BSI warnt: Dieses Funk-Türschloss von Abus ist nicht sicher! |trans-title=BSI warns: This wireless door lock from Abus is not secure! |url=https://www.computerbild.de/artikel/cb-News-Smart-Home-BSI-warnt-Funk-Tuerschloss-Abus-HomeTec-Pro-CFA3000-nicht-sicher-33313375.html |access-date=2024-07-10 |website=COMPUTER BILD |language=de |archive-date=2023-09-29 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230929212654/https://www.computerbild.de/artikel/cb-News-Smart-Home-BSI-warnt-Funk-Tuerschloss-Abus-HomeTec-Pro-CFA3000-nicht-sicher-33313375.html |url-status=live }} Upon confirmation of the vulnerability by the company to the BSI, ABUS clarified that the affected product is a discontinued model.{{Cite web |last=Wilkens |first=Andreas |date=2022-08-10 |title=BSI warnt vor unsicherem Funk-Türschloss von Abus |trans-title=BSI warns of insecure wireless door lock from Abus |url=https://www.heise.de/news/BSI-warnt-vor-unsicherem-Funk-Tuerschloss-von-Abus-7216682.html |access-date=2024-07-10 |website=Security |language=de |archive-date=2024-04-16 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240416131203/https://www.heise.de/news/BSI-warnt-vor-unsicherem-Funk-Tuerschloss-von-Abus-7216682.html |url-status=live }} As such, a software update to rectify the vulnerability is not technically feasible. However, it was noted that the successor to the affected product (HomeTec Pro Bluetooth CFA 3100) has been on the market since March 2021 and is not affected by the issue.

In the same year, ABUS was featured in the publication "Aus bester Familie" released by Zeitverlag,{{Cite web |last=Wetzstein |first=Jürgen |date=2017-12-08 |title=Abus im Standardwerk "Aus bester Familie" geehrt |trans-title=Abus honored in the standard work “From the best family” |url=https://www.velobiz.de/news/abus-im-standardwerk-aus-bester-familie-geehrt-veloQXJ0aWNsZS8xODk2MAbiz |access-date=2024-07-10 |website=velobiz.de |language=de |archive-date=2024-04-30 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240430081945/https://www.velobiz.de/news/abus-im-standardwerk-aus-bester-familie-geehrt-veloQXJ0aWNsZS8xODk2MAbiz |url-status=live }} and additionally became a network partner of VFL Bochum.

The company's products are divided into three main areas: home security, mobile security and property security, each of which is developed and manufactured with a different focus for private residential and commercial users.{{Cite book |title=Lexikon der deutschen Familienunternehmen |date=2020 |publisher=Springer Gabler |isbn=978-3-658-31846-8 |editor-last=Langenscheidt |editor-first=Florian |edition=3rd |location=Wiesbaden [Heidelberg] |pages=40 |language=de |trans-title=Lexicon of German family businesses |editor-last2=May |editor-first2=Peter}}

In addition to locks, such as the classic padlock or locks for doors, windows, bicycles and motorbikes, ABUS also produces smoke alarms, video surveillance systems, products for two-wheeler and boat security, alarm systems, locking systems and access control systems,{{Cite book |date=2020 |editor-last=Langenscheidt |editor-first=Florian |editor2-last=May |editor2-first=Peter |title=Lexikon der Deutschen Familienunternehmen |url=http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-3-658-31847-5 |language=de |pages=51 |publisher=Springer |location=Wiesbaden |doi=10.1007/978-3-658-31847-5|isbn=978-3-658-31846-8 }} and in 2018, Abus expanded its range of smart home solutions.

In August 2022, a security vulnerability was discovered in a wireless door lock from the manufacturer.{{Cite news |date=2022-08-11 |title=HomeTec Pro CFA3000: BSI warnt vor Einsatz von unsicherem Funk-Türschloss von Abus. |work=Der Spiegel |issn=2195-1349}}

ABUS August Bremicker Söhne KG and its subsidiaries remain wholly owned by members of the Bremicker family to this day. Since the late 1990s, the company has been overseen by family members belonging to the fourth generation, with the introduction, as of January 2021, of fifth-generation family members into the management structure.{{Cite web |last=Beckendorff |first=Jo |date=2021-01-13 |title=Abus: fünfte Familien-Generation rückt in Schlüsselpositionen |url=https://radmarkt.de/nachrichten/abus-fuenfte-familien-generation-rueckt-schlusselpositionen |access-date=2022-04-27 |website=Radmarkt |archive-date=2022-01-26 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220126173305/https://radmarkt.de/nachrichten/abus-fuenfte-familien-generation-rueckt-schlusselpositionen |url-status=live }}

In the ranking of the 500 richest Germans, published by Manager Magazin's annual list of the 500 wealthiest Germans in 2013, the family ranked 422nd position. At that time, the magazine estimated the collective assets of the family to be approximately €300 million. However, precise and current data regarding the company's turnover and the Bremicker family assets are not readily available.{{Cite web |last=Dornis |first=Valentin |date=2019-06-20 |title=Die Rolle der Tochte |url=https://www.sueddeutsche.de/wirtschaft/abus-unternehmer-religion-1.4493053?reduced=true |access-date=2022-11-18 |website=www.sueddeutsche.de |publisher=Süddeutscher Verlag GmbH |archive-date=2022-11-18 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221118180004/https://www.sueddeutsche.de/wirtschaft/abus-unternehmer-religion-1.4493053?reduced=true |url-status=live }}

Several members of the Bremicker family, belonging to the Kelly-Lowe-Continental wing of the Plymouth Brethren (Brüderbewegung) are associated with the Evangelical Brethren movement, a free church movement originating in the 19th century. The personal religious convictions of individual family members are, to some extent, reflected in the company's ethos and self-portrayal, with the company's mission statement imbued with Christian values.{{Cite web |last=ABUS |title=Über ABUS {{!}} Leitbild |url=https://www.abus.com/de/Ueber-ABUS/Leitbild |access-date=2024-08-20 |website=www.abus.com |language=de-DE |archive-date=2024-08-20 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240820100225/https://www.abus.com/de/Ueber-ABUS/Leitbild |url-status=live }}

However, the involvement of female family members in the company has been a subject of scrutiny. Equal participation of women in the company has been met with reservation and critique. In 1983, descendants of a former ABUS shareholder entered into a family contract that included a provision waiving inheritance rights for daughters of shareholders. Nevertheless, records indicate that there were instances where women held shares in ABUS.Amtsgericht Wetter: Handelsregisterauszug HRA 186. Hrsg.: Landesarchiv Nordrhein-Westfalen. 24. January 1959, page 103.

Since 2017, ABUS has served as a technical supplier to the Spanish UCI WorldTour team, Movistar Team.{{Cite web |last=Schmitz |first=Alexander |date=2019-09-04 |title=Abus und Movistar Team verlängern Partnerschaft |trans-title=Abus and Movistar Team extend partnership |url=https://www.sazbike.de/inside/abus/abus-movistar-team-verlaengern-partnerschaft-1751455.html |access-date=2024-07-10 |website=SAZbike |language=de-DE |archive-date=2024-07-10 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240710065708/https://www.sazbike.de/inside/abus/abus-movistar-team-verlaengern-partnerschaft-1751455.html |url-status=live }} The collaboration commenced with the unveiling of the new Game Changer racing helmet, which the company developed jointly with the team's athletes. In 2022, ABUS extended its collaboration with the team for a further three years. Under the extended agreement, ABUS will continue to provide support to not only the Movistar Team, but also the Movistar Women's Team and the Movistar eTeam as an official helmet and safety partner until 2025.{{Cite web |last=Held |first=Yvonne |date=2022-08-24 |title=Radsport: Mit Abus-Helmen an der Weltspitze |url=https://www.wp.de/staedte/herdecke-wetter/article236234675/Radsport-Mit-Abus-Helmen-an-der-Weltspitze.html |access-date=2024-08-20 |website=www.wp.de |language=de |archive-date=2024-08-20 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240820103310/https://www.wp.de/staedte/herdecke-wetter/article236234675/Radsport-Mit-Abus-Helmen-an-der-Weltspitze.html |url-status=live }}
