How MB Sentinel Locks out theft with Southco. Founded in 2017, MB Sentinel (MB) is a manufacturer of mailbox and package delivery boxes for residential and commercial buildings. MB fills the need in the marketplace for consumers to have a secure space to receive delivered packages at their homes.

Southco has introduced the newest product in its successful C2 series of lever latches, with a new push to lock option that incorporates an auto-relock feature.

As aircraft OEMs modify and improve cabin interior fixtures, there are hinging and latching technologies that can help address certain challenges and maximize the functionality of passenger seating design. Focusing on these small “touch points” can create a large impact by improving usability and heightening the perception of airline quality.

Southco, Inc. has completed the acquisition of Darshana Industries Pvt. Ltd, a proven leader in the design and manufacture of access hardware and mechanical components for the India market.

The biggest issue facing logistics firms, as identified by Barclays, is delivering goods when recipients are not present, with over 63% of carriers stating this as a concern.

Southco has expanded its line of VISE ACTION^® Compression Latches with a new covered version that allows the operator to identify whether the latch is open or closed.
