About

The world’s largest lock manufacturer by sales, Assa Abloy is a Swedish company that is recognised as a leading provider of intelligent lock and security solutions, and has approximately 46,000 employees and annual sales of around €7.3bn. Since August 2016, and with an exemplary background in the energy sector through his in-house experience at E.ON and Alfa Laval as well as in private practice, Johan Ahlgren is the group general counsel and leader of the company’s legal team. Ahlgren manages all of the legal affairs of the Swedish business, including its contracts, licencing, corporate governance and compliance in the context of a heavily regulated industry. Assa Abloy acquired the Chicago-based Door System Group in July 2018, and Ahlgren’s support on this transaction through overseeing it from a legal point of view saw its successful conclusion, resulting in a major success for the company.
