dormakaba Holding AG (former Kaba Holding AG) is a global security group based in Rümlang, Switzerland, formed as the result of a merger between Kaba and Dorma in September 2015. It is publicly traded on the SIX Swiss Exchange. In 1862, Franz Bauer founded Kaba in Zurich as a locksmith shop and cash register factory. The firm was sold in 1915 to Leo Bodmer, who renamed the company to Bauer AG. When inventor Fritz Schori created the first cylinder lock with reversible key in 1934, Bauer AG patented the invention and named the lock after the firm's founder Franz Bauer, known in German as 'Kassenbauer' (maker of cash registers) – 'Kaba' for short. In 1908, Dörken & Mankel KG was founded by Wilhelm Dörken and his brother-in-law Rudolf Mankel in Ennepetal. Dörken & Mankel KG was later known as Dorma. In 1995, Bauer Holding AG was renamed to Kaba Holding AG, and the company's shares were listed on the Zurich stock exchange. With the takeover of Unican Security Systems in 2001, Kaba gained a foothold in North America and added the Silca, Ilco and Kaba Mas brands as part of the merger. In 2006, the company acquired the Wah Yuet Group in China, the US company Computerized Security Systems (CSS) with its well-known Saflok and La Gard brands, and the Dutch company H. Cillekens Zn.
