Kaba Lodging Systems and Omnia Industries Partner to Offer New Designer Levers

New York City - November 12, 2006 - Kaba Lodging Systems, a worldwide leader in access control solutions announced today at the International Hotel/Motel & Restaurant Show (IH/M&RS) its partnership with Omnia Industries, a leading designer and manufacturer of architectural hardware and decorative levers.

A choice of 18 levers, from traditional to modern designs, in 5 different finishes have been selected for the Solitaire 710-II electronic lock. Hoteliers will now be able to enjoy Kaba's high-quality electronic lock along with the perfect lever to match their hotel specific decor. To complement the offer, Omnia levers will also be available for doors not requiring electronic locks such as closets, bathrooms, etc.

"Today, hotels and resorts have definite needs when it comes to an access control system. It has to be durable and flexible enough to respond whatever challenges arise without compromising great style, says Bernard Lefebvre, Vice-President of Lodging Sales for North America. Hoteliers are looking for global solutions for the access control systems as well as flexibility and Kaba's partnership with Omnia is an answer to that important need."

Partnering with Omnia was a natural decision for Kaba. Backed by product innovation, Omnia has become a name recognized for excellence among architects and project designers. Omnia's stylishly designed, yet exceptionally functional levers are the perfect complement for Kaba's electronic locks.

"A commitment to "being our best" is what guides and motivates all of the staff at Omnia. We are proud of the attention given to every detail, from innovation to quality. It is because that commitment to excellence is shared by Kaba Lodging Systems, that Omnia is very satisfied with the partnership for the lodging market", says Alexander Comini, Omnia Vice-President.
