India’s hospitality landscape is evolving, not just with innovative designs but also with strategic moves by global leaders in the entrance security solutions sector. Royal Boon Edam International BV, a prominent Dutch company based in Amsterdam, known for its advanced revolving doors and security barriers, is setting its sights on reinforcing its operations in India. By localising production and forming joint ventures, Boon Edam demonstrates its commitment to India’s burgeoning infrastructure—much akin to the transformative approach seen in China two decades ago.
Boon Edam’s journey is a remarkable tale of transformation that started at a family kitchen table, where discussions on international growth began shaping the future of the brand. Huber’s journey from truck driver to a leader of a mini-multinational firm reflects his deep-rooted commitment to the industry. Now, operating in 15 countries and partnering with more than 60 distributors globally, Boon Edam is positioned at the forefront of security solutions.

Having recently celebrated its 150th anniversary, Boon Edam has transitioned from manufacturing simple revolving doors to becoming a key player in sophisticated security systems. Their impressive portfolio includes high-security entrances, speed gates, and turnstiles that seamlessly blend security with architectural elegance, catering to the diverse needs of the modern hospitality sector.
Huber acknowledges India’s rapid growth trajectory, emphasizing the striking developments visible with each visit. According to him, the current pace of progress is exceptional by global standards, making it an attractive market for expanding operations. With existing facilities in Mumbai and Delhi and plans for further expansions, Boon Edam is keenly aware of the vast opportunities presented by India’s bustling infrastructure.
The company’s leadership noted the lessons that can be learned from India’s innovative approaches to population management and urban development. With a swift adaptation to market changes, India’s commercial real estate and infrastructure sectors are thriving, which directly influences the demand for advanced entrance security solutions tailored for extensive foot traffic in various public spaces.
In the current geopolitical climate, Huber pointed out the necessity for businesses to adapt their supply chains. Boon Edam is already assembling products locally in India, allowing for quicker responses to market needs while maintaining traditional production facilities in the U.S., China, and Europe as backups.
The company’s localisation strategy involves hearing the voices of their local teams to create solutions that are specifically suited to India’s market, rather than imposing standardized global products. This commitment to local needs signifies a long-term vision for lasting partnerships within India.
Highlighting the durability of their products, Huber explained that Boon Edam’s systems are designed for longevity, capable of operating efficiently for decades. Rather than focusing solely on initial costs, the firm emphasizes providing substantial long-term value that meets the expectations of both local and global clientele.
The increasing reliance on data centres in India has emerged as a major factor in the demand for advanced security solutions. Boon Edam caters to stringent security requirements of these facilities worldwide, ensuring efficiency in personnel management while upholding compliance standards.
Additionally, various sectors including hospitality, airport services, and commercial buildings continue to seek sophisticated entrance solutions that marry security with style. The company’s offerings not only enhance the experience for guests but also contribute to the overall luxury feel of high-end properties.
As Boon Edam’s clients in India request the same high service levels as received in Western markets, there’s a noticeable shift towards prioritizing lifecycle value—where total ownership costs are considered important—over mere upfront expenses.
Giese recognized the high expectations that Indian customers have regarding service quality. Customers choose Boon Edam for their reputation for reliability and service commitment, demonstrating the firm’s dedication to customer satisfaction.
Huber’s leadership principles—respect, dedication, and drive—underscore his ethos in building fruitful relationships with stakeholders and ensuring sustainable business practices. The importance of establishing robust systems, as emphasized by Saldanha, Managing Director of Boon Edam India, reflects the company’s focus on delivering consistent, reliable services across their operations.
For both travelers and hospitality professionals, Boon Edam’s strategic actions within India signify more than just growth—they illuminate the critical narrative of India’s evolving infrastructure landscape. With the surge of hotel and commercial projects across tier two and three cities, the significance of sophisticated entrance security becomes pivotal in supporting the future of India’s hospitality and business travel ecosystem.
