Sargent and Greenleaf, Inc. (S&G), a subsidiary of STANLEY Security and a leading manufacturer of high security locks and locking systems for safes, vaults and high-security cabinets, has appointed Brian Leary as Chief Operating Officer.

In his new role as COO, Leary will provide strategic leadership and day-to-day operational management for Sargent and Greenleaf and will drive the company to achieve and surpass its business objectives.

We are proud to welcome Brian to the S&G executive team,” said Casazza. “His extensive industry experience will help to further S&G’s long-standing reputation for high-quality, customer-driven products.”
