Unilever Port Sunlight

Case Study

Client Overview

Unilever’s Port Sunlight facility, a beacon of innovation and research, has stood at the forefront of business strategy for a century. With a rich history dating back to the opening of the first purpose-built research laboratory in 1911, the site continues to drive R&D programs for Hair, Laundry, and Household Care, embedding Port Sunlight technology into numerous brands and ground-breaking innovations. The seamless integration of security solutions is essential to safeguarding the site’s legacy, intellectual property, and valuable materials.

Partnership with Hunters: Safeguarding Innovation Since 2013

In 2013, Unilever forged a strategic partnership with Hunters, a premier integrated security company renowned for their expertise in designing, implementing, and maintaining comprehensive security systems. Hunters’ collaboration with Unilever spans both the Port Sunlight and Warrington sites, where they have played a pivotal role in ensuring a robust security infrastructure.

Seamless Access Control Across Three Sites

At the heart of Unilever’s security measures is a state-of-the-art access control system powered by Nedap Global. This advanced system seamlessly manages access to approximately 200 doors spread across three locations within Port Sunlight. The centralized system, hosted in Holland, allows for efficient programming and remote configuration by Hunters’ software engineers. This remote capability not only ensures optimal system performance but also minimizes operational disruptions.

Continuous Monitoring for Unparalleled Protection

Understanding the critical nature of Unilever’s operations, Hunters provides around-the-clock monitoring of the security system. With an array of chemicals and materials stored on-site, proactive breach detection is imperative. The vigilant monitoring team ensures that any potential security breaches are swiftly identified and addressed, upholding Unilever’s commitment to safety and security.

Surveillance at its Pinnacle

A comprehensive security framework includes a robust camera network comprising over 200 cameras. This amalgamation of Analog and IP cameras streams data to a sophisticated security control room, enabling real-time monitoring of activities across the expansive site. Hunters’ meticulous attention to detail ensures that no corner is left unchecked, bolstering Unilever’s ability to respond effectively to any situation.

Beyond Boundaries: Managing Site Entry and Perimeters

Hunters’ expertise extends beyond interior security. They meticulously oversee all aspects of site access, managing barriers, IP intercoms, turnstiles, and gates. By controlling access points with precision, Hunters empowers Unilever to regulate movement efficiently while prioritizing safety and security.
