      Our History

      Securitas brings decades of global expertise and trusted security solutions tailored to South Korea's unique needs.

      Our History

      For 90 years, Securitas has been a pioneering leader in the security industry, delivering trusted solutions through the perfect blend of human expertise and innovative technology. From our global beginnings to our presence in South Korea, we remain committed to creating safer environments and protecting what matters most.

      From Humble Beginnings to a Trusted Partner

      Our story begins in 1934, when Erik Philip-Sörensen founded a small security company in Helsingborg, Sweden. With a handful of employees and a commitment to reliable security services, Erik laid the foundation for what would become Securitas, a global leader in security solutions powered by advanced technology and expertise.

      Securitas Korea joined this legacy in 2014, bringing our trusted global expertise to one of Asia's most dynamic markets. Over the years, we have embraced innovation and tailored our services to meet the unique needs of businesses in South Korea. From integrated guarding to cutting-edge electronic security solutions, we have become a trusted partner for organizations across industries.

      Through it all, our core values—Integrity, Vigilance, and Helpfulness—have guided our actions, helping us build a reputation we can be proud of.

      Today and Beyond

      Securitas remains driven by the same spirit of innovation that has defined us since the very beginning. By combining the expertise of our people with world-leading technology, we continue to deliver solutions that help clients around the world stay ahead of emerging threats.

      Looking to the future, we are committed to setting the global standard for excellence in security. With proactive, intelligence-led approaches, we aim to empower our clients with greater resilience, protection, and peace of mind—today and for generations to come.
