SERRATURE MERONI: A LEGACY OF ICONIC DESIGN
AND THE REVOLUTION OF UFO LOCKS

1945 – 2025

Since 1945, Meroni has been a symbol of Italian craftsmanship and innovation.

We celebrate a major milestone: 80 years of passion, dedication, and boundless innovation.

Founded in 1945 by Giulio Andrea Meroni, Serrature Meroni has grown from a small local business into a global leader in lock manufacturing, staying true to its core values: reliability, quality, and design.

Over the decades, Meroni has built a legacy of iconic Italian design — from locks adorning homes and offices to becoming a trusted name in commercial vehicle security through the UFO Locks brand. Our journey is defined by relentless innovation, while maintaining the beauty and functionality that characterize Italian craftsmanship.

Today, we celebrate not only a glorious past but also an exciting future. With UFO Locks, we continue to push the boundaries of technology, offering smart locks and connected solutions alongside mechanical systems like TRITON — an advanced automatic multi-locking system.

Equipped with slam-lock functionality, it’s engineered for rear doors, side hatches, and toolboxes, ensuring fast and secure locking for enhanced commercial vehicle protection.

At our core, our mission remains unchanged: to create products that endure, protect people and their assets, and are easy to use. From our first mechanical locks to today’s automatic systems, every innovation we bring to life is a tribute to Giulio Andrea Meroni’s vision.

As we mark this anniversary, we thank our clients, partners, and collaborators who’ve joined us on this journey.

Together, we will continue to innovate, protect, and write new chapters in the history of security.
