04.02.2025

On February 4 2025, Gilgen Door Systems acquired a majority stake in Access Entry Pty Ltd. This strategic acquisition is a significant step in further expanding Gilgen's market position in Australia and strengthening its global presence.

Access Entry has established itself over the past 24 years as a leading supplier of automatic doors in Australia, recognized for quality, efficiency and security. Headquartered in Seaford, Victoria, the company has manufacturing, sales and service teams that consistently deliver world-class customer service. With additional sites in Sydney and Brisbane, the company is represented in key locations across the country.

A successful partnership with Gilgen Door Systems has been in place since 2015. Gilgen acquired its first shares in the company in 2018 and since 2023 Access Entry has had its own Gilgen Academy in Melbourne.

Richard Whitfield, Managing Director, about the takeover: “The Access Entry team is thrilled to join the Gilgen Group. Over the past decade, we’ve successfully expanded our local market share with Gilgen products. Now, with the full support of the Gilgen team, we’re excited to continue our growth journey.”

“We are very pleased to welcome Access Entry to our Gilgen Group after 10 years of successful co-operation. We share the same ideas and vision for the Australian market. This acquisition is a further step to expand in the Australian market and to enhance our ability to deliver exceptional value to our customers”, added CEO Peter Koller.
