Gallagher was founded in 1938 in New Zealand. Originally, the core business was the development and manufacturing of electric fence applications. In the early 70’s Veldman & Dijkstra became a distribution company for Gallagher-products. The Gallagher Group Limited and Veldman & Dijkstra decided to pool their resources and jointly founded Gallagher Europe in 2000. Today Gallagher Europe has branches in The Netherlands (2), Belgium, Germany, France, Great Britain, Austria, Switzerland and Sweden. Gallagher Security Management Systems B.V. is also part of Gallagher Europe.
Meanwhile, the Gallagher Group was not only global market leader for electric fence products for agricultural applications, but also for Perimeter Security Systems. In 1999 Production Engineering Corporation was taken over and with that Cardax Access Control and Security Management Systems was added to the Group's product portfolio. With Power Fence and Cardax FT the Gallagher Group has two leading product lines which complement each other seemlessly. Gallagher owes its success especially to the fact that Gallagher offers what users want:
- Solutions, not only for today but also for tomorrow and the future
- Years of experience and knowledge, readily available for customers
- A fully integrated solution and all the benefits of network technology
- Continuous improvement of applications as technology becomes available
- Do business with people of a global company who provide workable and reliable solutions
- Service and support
