Master Lock has acquired American Lock Company, a manufacturer of solid body padlocks and cylinders for the higher security commercial market.

American Lock is a great complement to the Master Lock brand. In acquiring American Lock, Master Lock is gaining a recognized brand in commercial security, a broad portfolio of commercial grade padlock security, a dedicated and experienced workforce and an opportunity for synergies in sourcing, logistics and best practices.

This purchase enables Master Lock to better serve its customers in the industrial and government segments of the growing commercial door lock, padlock, safety lockout and other related security markets.
