TDSi Evolves into TDSi by Hirsch – A Unified Security Portfolio for the UK Market
Integrated access control and security manufacturer TDSi today announces that from 1st January 2026, it will operate under the new name: TDSi by Hirsch. The change follows the global transformation of its parent company, Vitaprotech, into the Hirsch Group, unifying its security brands worldwide under one trusted name.
For more than four decades, TDSi has been a trusted name in integrated access control, with thousands of installations across education, healthcare, government, and commercial environments in the UK and worldwide. That expertise now enters a new chapter as TDSi strengthens its offering through deeper integration with Hirsch, creating one of the most comprehensive security portfolios in the UK market.
Under the new brand TDSi by Hirsch, customers will gain access to Hirsch’s high-security solutions for access, perimeter, and video, complementing TDSi’s established access control systems. This move reflects Hirsch Group’s vision of harmonising, innovating, and internationalising its security solutions while maintaining continuity for long-standing clients.
Richard Huison, UK Managing Director of Hirsch Secure and TDSi, emphasised that the transition will not disrupt existing services or support. “It is very much business as usual,” he said. “What changes is the breadth of solutions we can now offer, from perimeter to core security, giving partners and end-users access to a truly unified security portfolio that is scalable, interoperable, and future-ready.”
The rebrand follows TDSi’s integration into the Vitaprotech Group in 2019 and Hirsch’s addition in 2024. From 1 January 2026, the group will adopt the globally recognised Hirsch name, signalling premium positioning and federal-grade trust. Eric Thord remains CEO, with Steven Humphreys as Deputy CEO, driving a strategy focused on global reach and local execution.
For customers and partners, continuity remains a priority. All existing products, services, and support channels will continue unchanged throughout the transition, ensuring a smooth evolution toward a broader, more integrated security offering.
