The brand operates in several complementary markets: single-family homes, multi-family housing, commercial buildings, industrial sites, logistics platforms, retail, and public facilities. This diversity allows it to meet very different needs, ranging from securing a residential garage to managing the flow of traffic in a logistics platform.
