Award-winning global security manufacturer, Gallagher Security, has announced a strategic partnership with Chubb China, signaling growth and expansion in the region.  

The announcement came as part of the New Zealand-China Business Partnerships Ceremony in Guangzhou on November 7. Seven other New Zealand companies joined Gallagher to signal new cooperation agreements between the companies and their Chinese counterparts.  

Projects and product launches

The event was attended by New Zealand’s Minister for Trade, Todd McClay, who had just concluded his visit to Shanghai, including participation in the China International Import Expo (CIIE). The agreements involve new projects and product launches across multiple industries, further strengthening New Zealand and China's economic and trade relationship. 

This new collaboration with Chubb China aims to promote Gallagher’s solutions, including access control systems, perimeter security, intrusion detection, and cybersecurity solutions, bringing high-quality, integrated security to Chinese consumers.
