Key Takeaways from

• Access Control,
• Smart Lockers and
• Secure Storage

SicherheitsExpo Munich 2026 offered a clear view of what customers and partners are looking for in modern access control: flexible installation, reliable smart locking technologies, secure data handling, and solutions that are easy to understand in practice.

Over two days in Munich, conversations with visitors from Germany, Austria, and Switzerland showed strong interest in smart locker systems, battery-powered locks, wireless access technologies, and the growing role of cybersecurity in everyday access management. The event also confirmed that live product demonstrations remain one of the most effective ways to explain how modern access solutions can solve real customer challenges.

SicherheitsExpo 2026 was an important opportunity for IMA to showcase what modern access control can look like when security, product quality, and innovation come together.

On July 1-2, IMA was represented at the show by our DACH sales representative, Christian Friedrich, together with Jaroslav Budka and Žaneta Dubnická.

Employees or students no longer need to carry plastic cards or fobs to their imaLOCKERS. The OSL.03-L series locks now respond to phone taps via NFC, supporting both Android and iPhone systems. Users receive their digital keys remotely, while existing RFID cards remain fully functional with no change to their operation.  

As a member of the Defence and Security Industry Association of the Czech Republic (AOBP), IMA was part of the “Expected Development of the Aerospace and Defence Industry in the Czech Republic and Worldwide” conference, held in Brno on 27 May 2026.

IMA was proud to be a Golden Sponsor of the ECCA Conference 2026, held in Prague from 25–27 May 2026 and hosted by the European Campus Card Association together with Czech Technical University.  

For IMA, the event was a valuable opportunity to meet partners, universities and industry professionals, and to discuss how access control, digital identity and secure storage solutions can support the changing needs of modern educational institutions. 

Here are some of the most crucial insights shared by our CTO, Michal Kašpárek.  

IMA was represented at the General Assembly of the Electrical and Electronic Association of the Czech Republic (EIA), which brings together companies from the electrical engineering and electronics industries.

As part of the WITTE Automotive Group, IMA continues to grow across borders and bring its expertise closer to customers in key European markets.

With dedicated local support for Germany, Austria and Switzerland, IMA is now even better positioned to help customers in the DACH region with smart identity, access control solutions and smart locker solutions.

Following a decision by WITTE Automotive GmbH, the sole owner of IMA s.r.o., Karel Kalivoda has stepped down from his position as CEO of IMA by mutual agreement.
