* Close-range chips of cell phone key are pioneered in Sweden by a lock maker, Assa Abloy. * It will be our sole supplier for both the chips and locks. Their bargaining power is large.
* The scale and the distribution of the subsidiary factories of Assa Abloy are large and intense, e.g. Yale, Lockwood.
