Securitas AB
 PROFILE
Securitas profits from the lack of caritas in human nature. The world's largest security firm provides security guards, alarm systems, and cash transportation services to banks, retailers, large corporations, small businesses, and residential customers in more than 30 countries, mainly in Europe and North America. Guard services account for about 70% of sales, and cash transportation and alarm systems account for the rest. Securitas' purchase of US security firms Burns International Services and Pinkerton's has also given it a dominant position in the US security services market. Swedish firm Säkl controls about 28% of the company's shares and chairman Melker Schörling about 9%.
