Integrated access control and security manufacturer TDSi will operate under the new name TDSi by Hirsch, effective Jan. 1 2026. The change follows the global transformation of its parent company, Vitaprotech, into the Hirsch Group, unifying its security brands worldwide under one name.

Further integration with Hirsch enhances what TDSi already offers. Customers will now benefit from access to Hirsch’s portfolio of high-security access, perimeter and video solutions. The new TDSi by Hirsch brand reflects Hirsch Group’s vision of harmonizing, innovating and internationalizing its security solutions.

“Becoming TDSi by Hirsch strengthens [our] legacy by combining our proven access control expertise with Hirsch’s global platform,” said Richard Huison, UK managing director of Hirsch Secure and TDSi. “For our customers, nothing changes in terms of service or support; it is very much business as usual. What does change is the breadth of solutions we can now offer, from perimeter to core security, giving our partners and end users access to a truly unified security portfolio that is scalable, interoperable and future-ready.”

TDSi joined Vitaprotech Group in 2019, followed by Hirsch in 2024. The group of security specialists will adopt the Hirsch name on Jan. 1, 2026. Eric Thord remains CEO, with Steven Humphreys as deputy CEO, driving a clear vision: global strategy, local execution, delivering innovative, interoperable security solutions tailored to each market.

As TDSi moves into this next chapter as TDSi by Hirsch, its commitment to its customers, partners, and the wider security community remains unchanged. All existing products, services, support channels, and points of contact will continue as normal.
