A manufacturing heritage rooted in Europe
Primat’s story began in 1901, when the company was established as a specialist manufacturer of safes and security products. From its early days, Primat focused on precision metalwork, mechanical reliability and secure construction—foundations that continue to define our manufacturing philosophy today.
Over the decades, Primat evolved from a local safe producer into a recognised European security manufacturer, supplying safes, cabinets and vault solutions to a wide range of professional and institutional customers. This growth was driven by continuous investment in production capabilities, engineering know‑how and quality processes.
Operating through periods of industrial change, market expansion and technological development, Primat built a reputation for robust construction and dependable manufacturing, exporting security products well beyond its domestic market.
Now part of Gunnebo Safe Storage family
A key milestone in Primat’s history was becoming part of Gunnebo Safe Storage in 2024—marking a new chapter focused on scale, integration and long‑term manufacturing excellence.
Today, Primat plays a strategic role within the group, serving as a dedicated manufacturing centre that supports both brands within the Gunnebo Safe Storage family and own-branded solutions. This integration ensures shared standards, aligned engineering principles and consistent quality across the value chain.
