What innovation means to us

dormakaba is aiming to become a leader in innovation by creating superior customer value. To reach this aim, innovative ideas need courage and competence – across the whole company, departments, and people. With our video series "Innovation Stories" we portray colleagues and experts from all over the world who are committed to working on new products and solutions and thus play a decisive role for the innovative strength of dormakaba.

They are experts in the field of digital transformation and are working on the development of digital products and services based on open platforms and ecosystems.
